I dont have and unboonet lining.
I do a radiator flush out and see how the temps go, and then look at the thermostat after and possible replace with a 180f rated thermostat.

I’m surprised that not much more then your RAA/RACV card and mobile phone is on the only thing carried, hmm…
I would rather be safe then sorry and carry more then needed then not needed.

I know how to bleed my system but how do I test the thermostat ?
I may end up replacing my thermostat but do I go for a 160 or 180,the factory VH Commodore was 160 ?
Straight coolant or a 50/50 coolant/water mixture would b fine but what about just straight water ?

Not sure what fuel pressure regulator with gauge kit to go for, price point up to $150 ?
Mild 308 5ltr with a 600DP Holley.
I know braided hosing is best but is fuel nylon hose sufficient enough ?

At the fuel senor end other either side of it there is nothing connected to it not even power…
The only thing that is connected to it is a fuel vapour line…I have tried my best (laying under the car, level) to trace it back as far as I can and it seem to go into the fuel tank.

Correct, I just read up and yes its a trip computer fuel flow sensor.
Mine isn’t even wired up, it seems its only going into what could be a fuel line (I may as well get rid of this)
Appreciate all your help “Immortality”

Here are more pictures of this at the front of my manifold.
If it is a regulator of some sort then its not connecting to anything…one end goes to hard line and the other end has thread but goes nowhere/tops as you can see.
Ill chase down were the hard line is going to later on the weekend.

What is GPS tracking like, is it worth it ?
I saw an Australian company had a GPS unit for $499 (3G Telstra), first 6mths free and $25/mth after (tracking vehicle every 30secs) or $50mth (tracking vehicle every 10secs)
Plus I suppose car insurance would go much cheaper then ???
