Hi Clay,
I have UC top arms so caster is no issue. The Torana sub frame mounting points are tilted back, I don’t remember but am going to say laid back 7 degrees.
I will measure it all when I change to adjustable arms in the next few months.

G'day Greg, where did you source these upper arms from?
Thanks.
BC.


Hi BC,

Not 100% happy with the quality, i am ...

Bushcreature,

I laid my Torana front end flat on the ground and then cut out the area where the subframe of the EK will sit. I used 90 degree 6mm plate to fill the hole made and then used the top rubber cover caps as locators on the sub frame for the rubbers to sit on/in. I measured the wheel base ...

Good work,

Whats the turbo, size, make etc ?

Greg

Next mod will be a floor cut !

So i have been having a small issue with the wheel alignment on the Torana front end and although its not that bad its been a thorn in my side since i have finished and been driving around.
What the issue is, the offset bushes i have in the lower control arms to do wheel alignments get knocked out ...

Harv,
Something i remember, those pesky rope seals. I replaced them twice with the grey in the car.
However I cannot recall if the sump come out, but in saying that I replaced the then cork gaskets at the same time.

You would probably be surprised how quick you can pull the whole thing rather than ...

Rust from the bottom up ?

What are you doing with the rear number plate overiders ?

Greg

Very nice and clean, progress is good !

Greg

PM sent Joe.

Greg

Can anyone tell if it was running on leaded or unleaded last?
Apart from running on oil on number 6, the left Plug.


From my experiences the carbon build up looks like leaded fuel, the unleaded fuel again from my experinces runs much hotter and usually less carbon. You may also see heat effected ...

Sorry,

Have to do it, LS, SBC or Barra 6 is the best bang for buck !

I have had countless greys all im afraid in the tip. Common breakage crank at # 1, no matter how they are balanced.

The greys have limits and revs below 6000 is where they are safest.

I am interested although !

Polishing the trims is laborious and not that easy.

To get them spottless they need to be sanded through the grit range 1500 2000 3000 4000 then polished for a few hours.

You will still see marks from aging and it takes a very patient person to get them perfect.

Good Job Scott.

Awesome young Joe, good to see you still have the old girl running and in your possesion.

Not only the radiator but the heater cores also suffer from big PSI, 7 pound recovery cap with a overflow will fix it.

I use green glycol mix which has anti freeze built in as well.

The classic instruments that i use are not GPS driven but can be set to the exact road speed you are travelling at.

The cluster also incorporates oil pressure, Volts and RPM.

Not sure if thats helps though.
