<VV> 2 ways for Fires

[D. Barry Ellison]

I propose they're more prone to fires now than when built.  It seems my 
brother sees several Corvairs each year for fires either under it or under 
the dash.  40+ years of wires rubbing together can easily cause problems.

The other way a corvair can easily start a fire?  Blow a belt on the 
highway, not notice the gen light for several miles due to the glare, and 
pull off onto the grassy shoulder....with unshrouded headers.  Don't ask me 
how I know.
