The Central Florida Corvair Club held their annual fall Corvair Affair in Saint Augustine, Florida November 4-6, 2011. The event included a Friday night welcome meal, valve cover racing, part vendors, car show, autocross, rally, and an awards brunch. There also were many drawings for door prices. Even though the weather was a little on the cool side it stayed dry and a good time was had.

Repairing Chevrolet Speedometer

trunk37 — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 01:23:30 +0000

Recently I had to fix the speedometer in my 2003 Silverado Truck. The estimates from the dealer were way to high. I found out you can get the replacement stepper motors and solder them in yourself for about $30 in materials.

I took some photos and video of the repair and posted them online. Follow the link below to see the article.

I have some amazing parts from a beautiful, 1965 Corsa.

I attempted to advertise these parts on EBay but it was just to complicated. Please take a look on Craig's List, Corsa Corvair in Los Angeles.
