So two motors on the go. The EKMart block for the FED is nearing completion in Pinjarra. Mebbe home for Christmas, if not early new year. Billet crank, wet sump, genuine Repco head, no cooling. The meth monster block for the FB is home again. This one ends up with the factory crank and part-girdle, ...

We could keep him busy for quite a while ...............

I wonder how many cases of Boags I would need to supply if he started work at one end of my driveway and worked his way down?

Good to see you got it going again. Did it behave today?

If this was Smokey and the Bandit, it would need a Screaming Chicken on the bonnet. Given it's more an FB than a Firebird, we might have to settle for a Screaming Bonnet Budgie.

Probably should have used the hydraulic Loctite, but didn't. I've never used it on all the NPT stuff I've built.

Good advice on the hoses (the FED chassis guy said the same thing).

Decided it was time to put fluid into the brakes. Filled it and let it sit overnight. Came back to a puddle of fluid on the floor... I had the various flare nuts tight, but not tight enough. Nipped them up, repeated process and no leaks. So far, so good. Bled first caliper (both inboard and outboard...

Never a dull moment with the wagon. More drama with the lightning whirler. It tends to sit idle for weeks while I am at work, then does daily duty (and gets leaned on) when I am home for the week. A few weeks back it started misbehaving. Fires up OK, does a run to Woolies and back no problem. But ge...

I thought that would have sold in no time ? Advertised it here, the FE/FC and FX/FJ forums (and the young bloke put it on FaceAche somewhere :roll: ) but no bites. Put it onto gumtree and sold it inside 12 hours. Hi Harv, I don’t think you have enough chain on the drawbar. 😂 Lol. That's proof chain...

Some info below on the steering arms, from my post on putting the Mitsi vented disks onto the kingpin front end:

No problem. I'll PM you the name/address details for pickup. Let me know once you've sorted the courier and I'll bundle them up and label as needs be.

Cheers,
Harv

Congrats

Three seconds after that thing gets home, methinks we'll find out if a 202 and Traumatic are quicker than a hot 179...
