<VV> corvair engine date codes

Interesting description of the later 140 carb linkage.  I operated "No Slop
Enterprises" which rebuilt throttle cross shafts by adding brass bushings to
the 'towers'.  

I never had anyone try to turn in a 65 140 cross shaft core and ask for a 66
or later 140 cross shaft in return.  I had dozens of people who wanted to
supply a 66 or later 140 core and get a 65 in return. It was rare that I had
a 65 140 cores in stock so I could get ahead building them because they were
in so much demand.

I may be doing another run of cross shafts.  I have some cores (other than
65 140's) I have my bushing reamer and assembly jig. What I'm missing is a
powder coater who will do a really good job for a reasonable price.  I'll
probably have to blast them myself and paint them.

late '65 140hp with the improved carb linkage also had all 3/8" shroud
bolts....also I have in my stash of parts a '64 110 head, part # 3886256,
that has all 3/8" shroud bolts, does any know why GM would have produced a
'64 head with all 3/8" bolts and then reverted back to the mix of 1/4-20 and
3/8"????
