<VV> Personal Corvair Milestone

[Bill Elliott]

Excellent! Congrats on your first drive!!

On the shifter, it sounds like you have the standard "sloppy shifter syndrome". If you look back at the archives or in the tech manual, you'll find tips on how 
to tighten that up. My quick-shift Corsa feels like a toploader (but in reality is a bit TOO quick, making it hard to get reverse).

I don't know earlies as well, but would think the same tricks used to quicken lates would work for earlies. Drop me a line offlist if you can't find the info and 
I'll try to remember all my tips...
