Subject: Pietenpol-List: Corvair fixed fan belt loss issue in 1964But obviously many of the cars on the road at that time didn't get the fix like Jack's Corvair but he suregot good at fixing it on the road. If I were running a Corvair on a Piet (or a car) with a fan I'd go with thisfix.CORVAIRS CONSTANTLY THROW FAN BELTS - Again, not true. We drive our cars 20,000-30,000 miles a year and only replace a belt every couple of years. In 1964 Chevrolet effectively ended what had been a nagging problem with fan belts on manual transmission cars. They replaced the heavy steel blower fan with a very light magnesium fan - This ended nearly all belt throwing problems on Corvairs once and for all.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:32:34 -0500
