Harry is very modest. It is a great video and if followed, makes
rebuilding a PG relatively easy (no surprises). As I remember, the
"downshift timing valve" is not covered, but Bob Ballew's PG booklet
covers it well. Quite a few local Corsa chapters have copies of
Harry's videos to borrow. I'd try there before I sprang for a
personal copy. By the way, that video is just one in a series that
Harry did for his local club. I recommend them all as a good start
to Corvair maintenance. "A picture is worth a thousand words.", and
in this case, a video is worth a thousand pictures. ;-)
