just wondering what make/model car is the interior light from?
cheers craig

Holdens and fords use the same interior lights, have a look at some later cars like VP or vr commodore, it will probably have &*#@ ea-eb stamped on it under the cover
&*#@ Ltd P5 to FE (86) models, statesman caprice up to WB, commodore sl/e, vk calais have the chrome ones with the map lights, after that the local luxury cars just got crappy plastic ones.

it was good to see Paul (EKK001) out there with his car all finished and getting alot of attentention, comments and photos.

here is my 179 with a m90-

i recommend the m90, it seems to stay quite cool, it has a bypass valve, its popular, its efficient its quite servicable, parts are cheap and available and its a good size for the holden 6 if you want good reliable power.
you can do it yourself with a 4bbl manifold and a 2nd hand m90 or buy it in ...

now i know its not a grey motor but its a mid sixty's boat and a holden six gotta be close enough to post some photos.

if its a heat issue you could also try header wrap as a alternative to or with a heat shield, i have header wrap on mine, you can even buy heat shield wrap for your fuel line.

did someone tune those carbs on a dyno or anything, could be a old coil or something but it could be the chokes adjusted down too far, what i mean is maybe the main jets are sitting too low making it run rich down low.

we will have to line up a cruise next time im up, wich might not be till after wintersun now.

in my opinion a roadtrip up the coast is more fun than flying and you get to have your car at the other end.
there is less chance of a break down if you fly but if you do break down flying you are in shit.
if you are only going for 2 days though flying cuts out a bit of time.

im sure you will be putting in a spare tyre this year :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

aidan...

yep, bet i dont get a flat this time, last year i got the flat from hell.

we are also travelling this year in two FC's, overnight from sydney taking a few stops at the usual roadside attraction ...

i changed to a smaller blower pulley and a higher diff ratio, stuffed things rite up, pings on 98 with octane booster any time i go to get into it, gonna start by changing the diff and then add water injection.

best acrylic ive used was definately dulon, dunno if you can still buy it but.
my car now has "concept"
