You and me both mate, the wait is seriously killing me, fml…

Cheers mate, watched a youtube video, seemed relatively straight forward

OK brains trust, like to put some personalized plates on the old girl. Has to be at least one character.  I like the top one, thoughts?

Used the VL for its first tow duties on the weekend, runs awesome when started, but has devloped a cold start issue. Bit of research and it sounds like maybe a common problem with the Quadrajet, so reckon I might buy an overhaul kit and have a crack at doing it myself.

Sure do, brand spanking Kosmic, Open Tag Light with an X30.  My lad hasnt raced for 6 years and is pretty much on the pace already in testing.  First meeting in March.

Hi mate, well I think really with anything with any sort of power/torque you need to go to a Tuff mount style pair of front engine mounts as otherwise, it allows too much movement.  And there isn’t a lot of clearance anywhere really.  It’s pretty good with the T400 rubber rear trans mount, but not sure there would be a huge difference between t…[Read more]

Surely it’s been on the dyno. Wtf is he doing.

Give it an enema. I generally do 1000km prior to using coolant.

my misses will agree.

You get pretty quick at it anyhow.

Last time was only dummy assembly. To measure up bits and pieces.

Well, they sort of plugin.  But you have to mount a potentiometer that gets actuated by the shift lever so its brain can work out what gear you are in.  They give you a heap of brackets and its suits most gearboxes.  But of course not a Powerglide into a VR…  So in my case, I had to get funky and mount my own and make my own lever.  Not hard…[Read more]

As Heron says, has to have the gear illuminated at night (like i did with a Dakota Digital sender) reverse light etc.
