Just tested all the bolts screwing down onto intake manifold and the rear bolts holes are not drilled down as much as the front ones ehiches explains why the rear carby is loose,strange surprised it only reared its ugly head now,time for some longer bolts for the rear but might still go studs for ease of lining up both gaskets, a base plate plus the carby.

Just started up the car again and the idle this time is erratic, up and down (all over the place)…yep definately a vacuum leak and I bet the rear carby bolts are culprit !!!

What are some good car alarm + immobilizer + gps packages $350-$400 range?
Brands like viper, cobra or mongoose ?
Or go for an American or European brand ?
I’ve heard that viper don’t produce to Australian standards ?

I already have battery relocated with kill switch to it,then someother things that need to b pushed in specific sequence to start the engine + 2x club locks (front,rear of the steering wheel) and a clutch/brake pedal lock.
My stuff above is that a good start

VHSLE CRUISER replied to the topic Full Metal Jacket/Solex Key Ignition in the forum Interior & Trim 8 years, 1 month ago
So a kill switch and car alarm (tilt sensor, immobilizer, hazard lights/horn sounding) would be a better choice ???
Plates behind the locks to prevent a screwdriver from digging out the locks ???
