Lanning (VV) Cylinder Head Temperature Jeff Kough (VV) Carb Synchronizing Steve Goodman (VV) Newsletter Index for 2001 Vol 27 Jim Pittman COVER: 1965 Monzas at TV-I Campus Jim Pittman == Sir John Plumb recently died at the age of ninety. "Like Voltaire, Plumb held up a historical mirror that had become quite dark with old age. He was not sanguine about our chances of survival, and he likened modern America to the late Roman Empire, circa 300: impossibly overextended, beleaguered by barbarians, aware that all its glories of law and engineering might yet be demolished by incomparably less sophisticated peoples for whom destruction is a vocation and life is expendable." -- Simon Schama, THE NEW YORKER, November 5, 2001 = Dues Expired or Due or Approaching Due: Del Patten 09/2001 Jon Anderson 10/2001 Jon Lovett 10/2001 Glen Gollrad 11/2001 David Huntoon 12/2001 Ollie Scheflow 12/2001 Wayne Ward 12/2001 LeRoy Rogers 01/2002 John Wiker 01/2002 John Dinsdale 02/2002 Carl Johnson 02/2002 Frank Stadler 02/2002 Mike Stickler 02/2002 If your membership is due or has expired, please send your dues to: Wendell Walker, CNM Treasurer, 301 Utah Meadow, Rio Rancho, NM 87124 Note: the Club will mail in your National dues when you renew, but only if you send us the renewal form from CORSA Communique! CORSA's home page: http://www.corvair.org CNM's home page: http://www.corvair.org/chapters/chapter871 CNM's newsletters: http://www.unm.edu/~casa == NOVEMBER MEETING Chuck Vertrees The meeting was called to order on 11/7/01 at 19:35 at Galles Chevrolet. All the new officers were present. Sylvan Zuercher announced that here were no guests or new members to introduce. The minutes of the last meeting were approved as published in the newsletter. Treasurer Wendell Walker reported that CNM had $244.32 in the checking account and $5,096.16 in the money market account for a total net worth of $5,340.48. Wendell also has a copy of the audit for the last year for those interested. He is also concerned that we are spending more lately each month than we are taking in, and suggested that we need to consider some form of money raising scheme. It was brought up that some of this expending was to restock our supply of CNM license plates and patches, some of which will be slowly returned to the treasury as these items are sold. It was suggested that we consider a raffle at each meeting. Mark Martinek gave the Car Council report. An extract will be on the web page and elsewhere in the newsletter. He said there will be no Car Council meetings in November, December and January. The Museum car show will be May 5th and they are looking for someone to run it. Jerry Goffe announced that he is now an official docent and guide at Bosque del Apache. He will be glad to lead a tour to see the cranes if any are interested. The best time would be from mid-November through February. He could take a tour any Saturday or Sunday. The board will take this up at the next meeting. The CNM ladies have a meeting scheduled for the 2nd Saturday in January. All CNM wives, girl friends, etc. are welcome. See the newsletter for time and location. President Robert Gold said that Wendell had ruined his life. It seems that Wendell adjusted the throttle linkage on his Corvair-V8 and now it scares him. He really had never known what a large block GM engine would do in the back of a Corvair. It scares him now and he will have to learn how to drive in it all over. John Mattern reminded us of the band concert at Eisenhower School on Friday evening, December 7th. Steve Gongora knows of a 1965 500 for sale, and Hurley Wilvert has information on an all black 1966 110 with Powerglide. OLD BUSINESS: The Christmas dinner is all set for Sunday December 2nd at the officers club at Kirtland AFB. Because of security procedures at the base we must all go in together. We will meet NO LATER than 10:45 AM at the parking lot at the Wyoming gate and be escorted in. If you are late, too bad. It was rumored that photo IDs, car registration and proof of car insurance would also be necessary. Steve will furnish a CNM member roster for entry if needed. It was announced that the CNM Ladies will meet at the Gold's next Saturday from 1 to 4 PM. Snacks will be provided by the hosts (hostesses?). Bring your Arts, Crafts, and gossip. The potluck will be Saturday November 17th as per the information in the November newsletter. Bring your white elephants for the auction. The proceeds will go to the club. Robert Gold said he was sorry that he could not make the Route 66 cleanup. It seems that a part load of cement blocks had fallen on the shoulder that had to be picked up. We only do this cleanup three times a year, and we should have good turnout from CNM. There was discussion about a letter to the Albuquerque Journal concerning the sad state of trash on Route 66. NEW BUSINESS: We need to give a lot of thanks to Tarmo and Steve for setting up the Shidoni tour. The artist was better that a professional tour guide. The only problem, according to our President, was that there was too much food at Gabriels. Really, the service and food were excellent according to everyone who was there. Larry Blair has been getting quite cheap insurance on his cars. See him for details. The meeting was adjourned at 20:30. == NOVEMBER BOARD MEETING Chuck Vertrees Due to the Thanksgiving holidays, there was no November board meeting. == FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT Robert Gold It's been an active month in CNM land. Those of you who receive the club's newsletter got a chance last month to see the nice pictures taken at the dinner for the Pleaus held at Sadie's restaurant. If you looked real hard you'd see that the Gold clan was not there. I need to take the blame for that. My wife and two kids were all dressed up and ready to go and alas I was still on the road back from a business trip to Ruidoso when the dinner began. I regret missing the company of the club members and also all that good green chili! I did get a chance to attend the Shidoni Foundry trip that was put together by Rita and Steve Gongora and Kay and Tarmo Sutt. The day was beautiful, the lunch was filling, and the tour of the foundry was something I will never forget. I had to drag my kids away from the sculpture garden. The large armadillo was their favorite. The only negative was that I realized during the drive that the carbs on my seldom driven 64 convertible were totally plugged up. We made it back all right, but as soon as I got back to town the car went into the shop. So many cars, so little time to drive them all! A special mention needs to be made of the Route 66 cleanup in October. As most of you know Ollie Scheflow has borne the burden of organizing this activity for the club over many years. I count the time I have spent picking up trash along the roadway as one thing I have done to make Albuquerque a better place. However, in the best Murphy's Law fashion, this last time the turnout was not so great and the result was there was some real nasty stuff to pick up. The word I got was there were a number concrete blocks strewn about, making this particular cleanup quite a challenge. This just points out the need for the club to continue to support Ollie's efforts and make it a big turnout to every cleanup. I admit I was one of those who didn't make it, but I'm going to resolve to be there next time. The more who show up the easier and quicker the work is. Thanks again Ollie for your good efforts. As I write this column Ruth Boydston is in the hospital recovering from surgery. We all hope for her rapid recovery and look forward to seeing her again at the CNM meetings. Personally I'll have a harder time conducting the meetings without her guidance. Those of you who attended November's meeting are aware that there are still some problems with our access to the Galles' grounds. The good news was that Joe Trujillo attended the meeting to make sure that the members made it in ok. The not so good news was that the Galles security folks still haven't quite gotten the idea. Most of our members made it in ok, but the back gate was closed a tad early and some of the membership were on the outside and had to walk a distance to attend the meeting. I'll be working with Joe to make sure those access problems don't recur in December. We need for a good number of you to show up to the meetings to make this an active club! Concerning upcoming events, by the time you read this we'll have had our potluck dinner and raffle at the House of Covers. Many thanks to the Gongoras for hosting this fun event. I attend raffles with much trepidation since I wind up with all sorts of great stuff and I'm having trouble finding places to put it. Maybe I should get rid of a car or two? -- no way. I want to remind everyone of the Christmas Dinner to be held on Sunday, December 2 at the Officers Club on Kirtland Air Force Base. Due to increased security we all need to meet by 10:30 am at the Wyoming Gate so we can go in together. Bring two forms of ID and proof of auto insurance and registration. I realize this is some burden on the members, but remember the food is great and we get a chance to hear "Mr. Star Trek" perform. Lastly, Larry Blair has volunteered to talk at December's meeting about the security arrangements to protect the various public works systems in Albuquerque from attack. I know I'm interested in hearing about how they plan to protect things such as our water system and roads. Larry's current position as head of public works gives him a unique knowledge of those plans. Thanks Larry for sharing that information with us. Well, I guess that's all for know. Just one last thing -- I drove my V8 Corvair again the other day and it was just too much fun now that Wendell Walker sorted out its linkage problems. The experience can best be summed up by the saying -- "It was so much fun it must be either immoral, illegal, or fattening." I vote for number 2. -- Robert Gold ============================================================================ C O R V A I R S o f N E W M E X I C O C O M I N G E V E N T S ============================================================================ | | | | | D e c e m b e r | J a n u a r y | F e b r u a r y | | | | | | : : : : : : 1 | : : 1 2 3 4 5 | : : : : : 1 2 | | 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | | 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 | 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | | 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 | | 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 | 27 28 29 30 31 : : | 24 25 26 27 28 : : | | 30 31 : : : 2001 | : : : : : 2002 | : : : : : : : | ============================================================================ Sun 2nd Dec 10:30 AM Christmas Dinner - Kirtland AFB - Rita Gongora Wed 5th Dec 7:30 PM Regular Meeting - GALLES CHEVROLET 1601 Lomas NE Sat 8th Dec 1:00 PM CNM Ladies - TBA Wed 19th Dec 5:00 PM Board Meeting - House of Covers Fri 21st Dec 9:00 PM Newsletter Deadline - Jim Pittman Wed 2nd Jan 7:30 PM Regular Meeting - GALLES CHEVROLET 1601 Lomas NE Sat 12th Jan 11:00 AM CNM Ladies - TBA Wed 16th Jan 5:00 PM Board Meeting - House of Covers Fri 25th Jan 9:00 PM Newsletter Deadline - Jim Pittman Wed 6th Feb 7:30 PM Regular Meeting - GALLES CHEVROLET 1601 Lomas NE Sat 9th Feb 1:00 PM CNM Ladies - TBA Wed 20th Feb 5:00 PM Board Meeting - House of Covers Fri 22th Feb 9:00 PM Newsletter Deadline - Jim Pittman = Sun ..... 5th May 2002 - Albuquerque Museum / NMCCC Car Show "Cinco de Mayo" Fri-Sun 17-19 May 2002 - Tri-State Meet - Grand Junction, Colorado Wed-Sat 26-29 Jun 2002 - CORSA International Convention - Flagstaff, Arizona TBA .........

The performance will be in the school gymnasium at 7:30 PM. Eisenhower is approx one mile north of the Juan Tabo/Montgomery intersection. Turn right on Camero at the swimming pool. We do start on time at 7:30. This will be a very patriotic evening of WWII pieces, marches of Sousa, Bagley, Alford, Meacheam and other fine arrangements of special music. Hope to see you all there!

As always, I'd like to extend an invitation to all of the female members of the Corvair Club to join us in a fun afternoon. == Seven Years Ago in C.N.M. December 1994 Volume 20 Number 12 The cover was festive with toys, singing bears and a couple of small Corvairs. There was little or no business at the meeting. Steve and Rita reported on the auction and pot-luck. The food was delicious and fifty items were auctioned in sixty minutes, bringing in $270. President Larry told us why he missed the meeting: he couldn't pass up a hunting trip. The deer eluded him. Larry also mentioned a high-speed climb up Sedillo Hill during which his Spyder's temperature gauge soared off the scale, due to a separated harmonic balancer. Sylvan told about his adventures at the Palm Springs Great Fanbelt Toss and Swap Meet, an event every Corvair fan should attend at least once. He sold most of what he took, bought a few things, and made enough to cover expenses. Your internet monitor (not Dennis) reprinted some political humor to answer the question, What if politicians campaigned via e-mail? A large notice advised us to go to the Sirloin Stockade on December 10th for our Christmas Party. Technical material included the derivation of the word "pitman" as in "pitman arm" and a wandering FC which it turned out had a major crack in its unit body, letting the support for the steering gear box literally float! Also, Otto Mechanic refuted the theory that filling your tires with helium would reduce weight and thus produce better fuel mileage. As it was the December issue, an index of the 1994 newsletters was included. Fourteen Years Ago Volume 13 Number 12 The December 1987 cover looked like a cut-it-out-yourself jigsaw puzzle. In case we needed to buy anything, we had $451 to use. The speaker at our Christmas party was to be the Journal's Jim Arnholtz (now known as Jim Belshaw). President Reider gave us an overview of tentative activities for 1995. Jerry showed a series of Corvair-related films. Jim reported on the very interesting Architecture Tour put on by Sylvan. Steve provided answers to the Football Quiz. Our annual index showed what articles and tech tips were published during 1987. Twenty-one Years Ago Volume 6 Number 12 The December 1980 cover was a photo of our new officers: Sylvan Zuercher, Bill Reider, Mary Twilley and Robin DeVore. We had $282 in the bank. We planned a "Ladies' Day" technical session to typical common car problems and what to do about them. We planned to help out with the national CORSA convention in Denver in 1981. A tech tip said to use a magnetic drain plug in the oil pan to catch stray metal particles. An article by the editor argued that low-riders were superior to hot-rodders. An index for the 1980 newsletter rounded out the issue. == * * * * * * * * * * * * * FOR SALE, TRADE OR WANTED * * * * * * * * * * * * * FOR SALE: 1960 Monza coupe -- $650.00 Needs ground up restoration.

He writes: With the discussion on Virtual Vairs about cylinder head temperatures on Corvairs with stock gauges, the following letter of reply many be interesting to fellow VV'ers. -- Jeff *-*-*-*-*-*-* Chevrolet Motor Division General Motors Corporation Engineering Center 30003 Van Dyke Warren, Michigan 48090 October 29, 1969 Mr. Jeffrey J. Kough 3275 Joyce Drive Orlando, Florida 32809 Dear Mr. Kough: Your recent letter regarding the cylinder head temperature gauge for the 1966 Corvair Corsa 164 CID 140 hp engine has been directed to us for reply. The normal engine operating temperature, in 70 degrees F to 80 degrees F ambient, is around 400 degrees F. The engine temperature warning light is calibrated to light up at 460 degrees F plus/minus 10 degrees. A periodic check of this indicator as explained in the Owner's Manual is important. Note that the temperature indicator also serves as the oil pressure indicator therefore, the light can come on for four reasons: oil pressure problem, temperature problem, combination pressure/temperature problem, or an indicator/sensor malfunction. We thank you for writing to Chevrolet.

The stock linkage on our cars was fairly loose when the cars were new, the years of wear have only served to make it worse. Nothing is worse than trying to synch the carbs when they won't open evenly time after time.

We did a lot this year and enjoyed most of it. We have a lot to do next year: the Albuquerque Museum Car Show, the Tri-State at Grand Junction, the CORSA Convention at Flagstaff, the NMCCC Picnic, the Swap Meet, maybe another campout, another Aspencade, another Christmas party, and who knows what else. What do you want to do? Come to the meetings, attend a board meeting or two, call up your officers, write letters to the editor. The Club belongs to all of us. Let's make 2002 a year to look back on with fond memories. Thanks to Hurley Wilvert for his Driver's Seat articles, Robert Gold for all those good programs, Chuck Vertrees for the minutes, Wendell Walker for updates on dues paid, Mark Martinek for the Car Council meeting notes, Ollie Scheflow for the fun Route 66 cleanups, Sylvan Zuercher for riding herd on all those peksy newsletter pages and the member list, Debbie Deck for all those trips to the Post Office, and Bill Reider for printing up the last couple of pages of this issue. =end=
