We designed and built this assembly that mounts to the intake manifold generator mount. Works really well to cool his engine in the Florida heat. If you think something similar MIGHT work in your situation, I'll be happy to elaborate and show more pictures. You would POSSIBLY need to convert to an 8BA-type distributor for clearance.

Nicely done! I ordered some of those Corvair parts - just to have in my stock of crap that I "might use some day". Could be really useful for all sorts of 'idlers' that us hotrodders have to fabricate. Question, did you guys add a snap-ring or anything to ensure that the hub never comes off the bearing? It appeared that it is only a press fit????
