We are having many violations of the rules.  I'm attaching them at the
bottom of this post.  Please read and follow them.  

 

A lot of the replies that are getting people in trouble, should have been
sent off list, if they were sent at all.

In general:

 

 - No profanity.

        off the list.  This includes "my politician is better than

                yours."

 - This is a Corvair list, try to keep posts to Corvairs, or at least

        about cars or air cooled engine technology, especially:

        - No politics, unless they have *explicit* Corvair or automotive

                content.

        - Likewise, no religion.

   year/model/trans/motor of your 'Vair, this may help clarify your inquiry
