But aren't we confusing 100 octane mostly GASOLINE fuel (maybe E-10) with
100+ octane mostly ALCOHOL (usually E-85)? The former can be run in stock
Corvairs although to take full advantage of the high octane, at least timing
changes can be made. But the latter (mostly alcohol) since it has only about
70% of the heating value per gallon (compared to gasoline), requires MAJOR
changes to the carb jetting as well as changing out fuel system components that
will be affected by the action of high alcohol.concentration.

The first station on the Illinois list is just around the corner from my
house! Never noticed the pump with GT 100 octane before -- have to
check that out next time I fill up.
Thanks, Tony, for the list!

Depends on the year. Some years (64-65???) the wheel is just like stock
but with a horn ring. I sold one not too long ago and I believe Dale
DeWald is the present owner, maybe he"ll chime in here.

I've made an Excel spreadsheet that lists all the available exterior and
interior colors for all Corvair cars and Greenbriers. Anyone who would like
to have a copy, email me privately.
BTW, I consider this spreadsheet a work in progress, as I don't
"officially" have listings for FC's other than the 'briers.
Should I
eventually have to change anything on this sheet, just check the revision

Ken,
What do you think the "checks and balances" system is? How about the
Senate's right of filibuster? No, the founding fathers intended for
disputes to tie up the government's lawmaking abilities. They well knew
that doing nothing was better than doing the wrong thing, which is why they
designed the system like they did. Like one of them once said, "heaven
help
us when the legislature is in session." In Virginia where my brother
lives,
the state legislature is strictly limited to a specific number of days. I
understand that the purpose of that is to limit the length of time the
citizenry is in danger of laws passed by the legislators. LOL
And for the record, the Supreme Court did NOT rule "Christian ethics out
of
the government." Rather, they have ruled (many times) that government
should stay strictly out of religious activities. As one wag said "as long
as there are math tests in school, there will be prayers in school". It is
a falsehood that "prayer has been banned in school". One is (and
always has
been) able to pray in school, PRIVATELY. The "banned from school"
notion is
another one of those RRR "big lies". They have used that lie to whip
followers into a frenzy, when in fact the Supreme Court is merely doing
what the Constitution demands, preserving EVERYone's right to practice
religion in their own personal way.
And, let me add, it is the PARENT's responsibility to teach religious
values to their kids, NOT the school's. If it were the school's
responsibliity, who's version of "religious values" are you going
to have
them teach? Certainly you wouldn't want them to teach anything contrary to
YOUR values, would you? So stop complaining when the Supreme Court protects
your right to your religious values.

Hi,
I'm new to the list and looking forward to future communication.
?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a suitable, reliable electric fuel pump
for the '64 110 corvair?
?
I was hoping to keep with the stock mechanical pump, but I've had two
Clark's pumps give up on me, and just today the original AC pump died.?? I
think I'm ready to make the switch to electric...
?
Thanks,
Todd

Heck, the founding fathers would probably think...."why are we hearing
this right wing talk radio poo on our Corvair list?"
The founding fathers were the very definition of a ruling elite...and they
liked a clear separation between Corvairs and despairing rhetoric.
Please take politics elsewhere.

They could not have for seen a time in which party policies would
overshadow the nation ... they could not have for seen liberalism
in the Supreme Court ruling Christian ethics out of the government.
They could not have for seen foreign powers exerting control
