-related information including parts, assemblies and tips, on the Build Wiki. Most of the items listed are component-related, but there are listings of other information to assist with the conversion and building of a Corvair engine for aircraft use. The list is in alphabetical order, unless I've cocked it up.
Column one has the part as it is commonly called; column two is the wikiword for the component; and the last column has a short explanation about what the heck the component is.
