First let me welcome you to V V!  You will be exposed to a tremendous wealth 
of knowledge / experiences here!

Secondly, look at my signature!!   Timogen???   Atilla the Hun's Birthname!!! 
 ggg  So don't  let my tone upset you!


You need to tells us WHAT problem?  There are dozens of webtips on Corvair 
timing out there so we assume you know HOW to set timing?

What type of timing light are you using?

Is the timing moving?  ETC.

Note: "Fitch Sprint" is body  / suspension mods....What Engine do you have?  
What Carburator [s] ? Is it turbocharged?

Get back to us in 5 minutes and in 10 you'll have some answers!
