Carl,
Be sure to carry several replacement fuses.

  Thanks to all who responded to the below posting.  I replaced the red 10
gauge wire between the battery  and the frame with a 10 gauge wire with a
fuse holder in it.  I put a 30 amp fuse in the holder.  I could not locate a
larger fuse.  I have run it with the 4 lights burning, the cigarette lighter
heating, the radio, the heater motor on high and the wipers on high.  So far
it has held up with no problem.  This was done on Monday night.  Tomorrow I
will find the 10 gauge red under the dash going to the fuse block and clean
its connections.  Next weekend, I am planning to take it to Pensacola, FL
for the Northwest Fl Corvair show.  That will be a new experience for me.
Again, thanks for the suggestions.

   

  Carl

   

   

  I am trying to find out how to make a posting.  My 65 Corsa shuts down 

  >electrically.  I mean graveyard dead.  No lights, no radio, no engine - 

  >just nothing.  I cannot find the reason.  It would appears as some type 

  >of system circuit shutdown.  The battery is new.  All connections are
tight.

  >Yesterday, I decided to check all connections as it had been dead since 

  >Wednesday.  I turned on the key and the radio so when I found it I 

  >would know.  In two minutes the system all came alive.  Worked fine all 

  >day.  This morning, it was again dead.  I put the key in and turned it 

  >to on.  The radio came on after about 30 seconds.  If I turned on the 

  >lights, the system went dead.  Turned off the lights and the radio

  >Lights, radio, engines - the works.  Someone has to have had this
