Beautiful mate, I had pretty much the exact same car back in the day.  Mine was ex cop so had the full SS interior.  Great to see if getting the love and attention it deserves!!  Thanks for the update.

Thought I would post this summary in case its useful for anyone else;

Changing from 58T reluctor wheel to 24T

You do NOT change the wiring going from the 58T (beige) crank angle sensor to the 24 (black) one. You do need to snip off the locating pin in the black sensor with side cutters then just plug it in, orientated so the locking clip still…[Read more]

Great info, thanks for sharing

I recall reading an old hotrod trick was to mill the face of factory headers at a slight angle to get them to hug the block more.  That an option?

Thanks, mate, yea so refreshing to deal with someone who knows his stuff, and is happy to help out.

Cool, knew you would have thought of it.  Bloody conversions, its all shits and giggles until the exhaust rears its ugly head…

Looking the goods mate, beautiful work.  Now bear in mind I know next to nothing about this sort of thing.  But is all the torque reaction of the front drive shafts taken out through the poly bushes and tubes?  They don’t look particularly long, when you accelerate/decelerate will there be a big twisting moment on them?   Just a thought, could be…[Read more]

Well, that’s an interesting few days…

Got it all installed, hit the starter, turned over but no fuel pumps.  Bugger…  Looked around, couldn’t spot anything obvious.  Rank Mike who had done some wiring, he was able to come around the next morning.  Started playing around, then at one stage while we more or less standing there the pumps dec…[Read more]

Phew, what a few days.  Literally got it running at 5 o’clock last night, tbh I posted up on FB, cracked a beer and called it quits.  Might throw this up here first, it’s first fire so hadn’t played with the idle or anything, sounds angry and very tuff imo.  Will post after the whole story/saga.

Moving along nicely mate.

About to start day 3.  Yesterday got the headers in, I thinks its all about sequence and process.  Took most of the day though.  But that a combination of doing them on my own, no room, and paranoia about scratching anything.  So have made up a list of whats left, might go close today but will wait and see.  I have waited this long not rush…[Read more]

Thanks guys, now its just about time to tackle the headers…

Good solid day, still struggling with the aftermath of the flu, so doing it in chunks then resting.  Tbh I had forgotten all the work and details I did when I built it, its only as I am reassembling it all it coming back to me.  I cant remember how many hours I put into the engine oil cooling system, the remote oil filter pickup and mount etc.  Bu…[Read more]

Hell yea, very neat, love it.

You don’t much around. Looks Great.  So is that a modified Beemer rear sub frame to mount the Holden diff?
