When you see the size of the circuit board compared to the choke knob it is a small compact unit. That is a good outcome Blacky

Good job on the wipers, they can eventually drive you nuts with a clunk & knock in operation. Opportune time to fix whilst the heater goes in.

I have an intermittent control I am going to fit to the Ute the same as I have on the sedan……. one day 🤔

Hey Greg,
Tidy looking car, just noticed it is a Fairmont. I guess the Fairmont owner got a cigar lighter as standard over the basic Falcon owner!

That should keep you busy Mick. Does it have a motor/ gearbox? What driveline are you thinking?

Interested in seeing how this one unfolds.
