  • Well, we've got to start somewhere.
    In this video we will start digging into this Corvair and see what we will see.
    Video clips from Unbroken and one of the Dirty Harry movies....not sure which one. My mom disapproves of my young eyes watching such things.

    Glad you took the advice to evict all the mouse nests! A 500 with AC is a rare car and deserves to be saved. Those nests have ruined many good engines by overheating. One of the great things about Corvairs is the lack of water means they’re often still in good running shape since the cooling system rot problems aren’t there. I think the advice to leave off the AC while get it running reliably well is good. If you decide not to reinstall there are a lot of desirable AC parts that others need to convert their cars.

    An air conditioned 500 is something you don't see every day. In '66 the condenser was miniaturized and moved into the fresh air chamber giving better access to the engine components. The '65 & earlier A/C Corvairs are hard to service. Good move to have a look under the blower housing. Corvair aficionados affectionately call it the turkey roaster.

    Good to save this one. Blower bearing will give you trouble eventually. Some people have had luck lubricating, but best to change, since you had the shroud off. Good job so far.

    My Great Uncle was the “Corvair tune up tech” at a local Chevy dealer. He had a 66 with a/c. I definitely would reinstall. Rare option definitely worth the time and trouble. I loved to drive my Cousin’s vair back in the day. Good luck , love the color, looks great!-

    Lifter noise is common, they’re hydraulic and lay on their side, so when the engine stops, whichever lifter has pressure on it, the oil will leak out, and you’ll get lifter noise on start up, but its easy to pull the lifter out on that car. You’ll can drop them out and clean and soak them. But you’ll need a half of a valve cover to adjust them, because you have to do it while its running.

    Jayhawker, you asked for our opinion, so I want to offer this.
    Over my years I've seen a too many vintage cars that had fallen into the hands of basically, hacks. That's a sad thing to see for what would otherwise be a nice car. The purpose of owning and enjoying a vintage car is what it represents from the time it was manufactured and having that transcend down to you. That means the purest driving and ownership experience can only be had by retaining and or replicating a vehicle's factory build. In short, as it came from the factory to its first owner. Any changes to that will dilute the factory correct experience. An example of alterations from that would be resto-mods. Once the engine, powertrain and other parts have been replaced by those from glossy catalogs, what remains is a vintage flavored car that isn't anything like what it started out as. That's OK when such changes are made to Mustangs and Camaros, those cars tend to be favorites to modify and there are plenty of them around to do so. In other situations, such as with your Corvair, that falls into a category that there are so few around that the best thing to do is keep it OEM.
    I say this as I expect that when you decided to buy the Corvair your intention was to own and enjoy a true vintage experience. Keep that in mind. Second to that is owning a historically correct car that one day will deserve to be in a museum. The altered cars and the hacked-up ones too, won't deserve that and eventually will be junked for the metal they're worth. Because the fashion of altered parts from a catalog will no longer hold any interest, nor will the few remains of what the car had originally come with.
    I admit that I'm a purest when it comes to vintage cars. And I'm proud of it, because viewing the correctness along with a genuine driving experience, just can't be replicated. And we owe that to those in the future. Keeping a vintage car OEM correct, requires a brain, thought, and study. Anybody can open a glossy catalog, point, and then buy parts that don't belong.
    Thus, my recommendation is to do your work to keep your Corvair OEM correct. If cost is a factor than let the air conditioning hang until you can afford to do it. Otherwise, follow through and reinstall it to working order. Don't allow the blockage to bother you. The engineers at GM knew what they were doing. And the correct version of AMSOIL will keep the hottest engine safe. So too, you'll have it for those hot days that Kansas will have. I know, I lived in beautiful Kinsely Kansas for about nine months.
    I've subscribed because I want to enjoy your working through this project. Respectfully, discerningmind.

      Thanks for your opinion and comment. If you are new to my channel and plan on watching more videos you will find that I too have a passion for keeping my projects original. If I climb into a '55 Chevy, I want all of my senses to experience what it was in 1955. Although as in the case of my '86 GMC I guess I don't have a leg to stand on as I am putting a '62 327 into it instead of the 305. Usually if I do any mods at all, it's through the use of period correct factory accessory parts. And of course materials available and the budget have much to do with it.

    I would remove the a/c temporarily until the engine (and the rest of the car) is up and running to your satisfaction then I would restore/reinstall it. I understand that continuously removing and reinstalling it would be a pain while getting the car back to useable and dependable condition, but once it’s running well, why not keep and utilize a nice and also rare option. It will also help the value and “sell-ability” of the car; should that day ever come.

    Great Find, a 500 with A/C has to be very rare. Back in '65 my father and I were shopping for his second Corvair and he blanched when he saw the engine compartment of an A/C Monza! Needless to say when he ordered one it didn't have A/C.
    At the Corvair Ranch an A/C car was having an engine rebuilt because a loose compressor had pulled on the crankshaft hard enough to cause both main bearing and harmonic balancer damage. Jeff said that he'd seen this happen more than a couple
    of times. Your Pass. side carb is most likely for a car without A/C since '64 up they used a different air cleaner setup which only needer one hole. Keep up the great work!

  • @dtc1117

    The first thing that needs to be done, is seal off all the open A/C lines. After you get all the maintenance completed, then put the A/C system back in and try to get it functioning. It is a part of the car. It apparently is a rarity. If the system is not able to be gotten functional, then maybe consider sidelining it. But those are just opinions.

    OK, so the antifreeze thing has been a Corvair joke for years and years... But the thing a lot of folks forget - It does have thermostats!

I used to use a heat gun to see if they moved.

The engine sounded pretty decent from what I could hear but, yeah, needs a little TLC. I'll be here waiting for the next one so, in the meantime, keep your powder dry; keep your stick on the ice; & if the ladies don't find you handsome make sure they find you handy.

    I have to say that that is a nice find on that old Corvair he just don't see many of those around anymore. But then when you open the door on the Studebaker oh my goodness I've seen all types of Studebakers that one would surely be worth a lot more as a two-door but man oh man that thing was in mint condition, probably should have went to auction would have brought top dollar. I know for sure if I would have had the opportunity to grab that one too, it would have been on the trailer. We have to save all the old iron that we can but then again if you're not going to drive it and enjoy it, why have it? Yeah and that's what some people do. Obviously you're not that guy. Me myself as far as that goes about the AC I would probably wait until I was done with the car as far as you want to take it and then I would bolt that sucker back in and fire her up especially seeing how that you don't see that option in a 500 that often. Anyway my friend I wish you all the blessings to you and your family keep up the good work.

    I know nothing about Corvairs, the UA-cam algorithm sent me here, but I will say, if you, a guy who owns other Corvairs has never seen a factory AC car, that means it's pretty rare. Bolt that thing back on and show it off. Also You dug through like four layers of parts to get down and pull the plugs from the engine, you bought new AC delco plugs for the engine, you then regapped the old plugs and put them back in? The right thing to do would have been to replace the plugs, then put the old ones back in the new boxes, put them on the shelf and never look at them again, "just in case".

    I agree with the other commenters who suggest leaving the AC unit off. However, just store all of the parts in a safe place that can be given to the next owner. Regarding the 1965 AC unit, I'm guessing that the AC refrigerant is no longer available or possibly is expensive or banned. I checked to see if a modern day electric AC unit is available from Vintage Air or one of its competitors. I was thinking about one of those electric AC units for my 1972 Dodge Dart. I couldn't find one for a Corvair. Perhaps one of the existing replacement AC units could be modified for your Corvair.

    • @xXcampx
      @xXcampx Рік тому

      I don't think that is recommended. From my understanding, putting an air filter on the tempered-air inlet of the heater box will turn that inlet into a heater "exhaust." Especially when the heater fan is off. On this particular car, however, that heater fresh air hose in the engine compartment with the rip does need to be replaced. Otherwise, the cooling fan air that should be going over the cylinders escapes through the ripped hose and just goes in circles, affecting engine cooling. And I agree with many here, get the AC going and convert to a later model condensor that doesn't mount over the engine.

      They can be hard on belts. Its really important to get the correct size. NAPA may have the right length, but it may be the wrong crossection. Also important not to over tighten. Should be able to spin alternator fan with a couple of fingers. Someone else mentioned the missing belt guide on the top shroud. They should both be in place.the second one is on the idler pulley. Downshifting can be hard on the belts also. I ran mine really hard in high school and dont recall repetitive problems. Im sure I ate one at least, but I ran it pretty hard. Under normal driving they last a long while. One should always carry a spare and tools to replace. And if the gen light comes on, shut down immediately.

    Bonehead? Uh, no. You find a finger tight fuel fitting and save a classic. Not a bonehead move.

      easy and cheap source of a higher count zddp additive, plus as noisy as the valvetrain was at first I felt a higher viscosity was only going to help.

    I'd box up all the A/C parts in case I ever decided to sell the car !! It just clutters up the engine compartment and kills performance !!

    I think you're just being cheap about the AC. You always want things back original but you yourself has said that you are frugal.
