if the switch bolts to a metal dash you don't need the ground tab, because it grounds through the screw in metal collar and the spiked metal tab that stops the switch body turning in the dash hole this, i think you have acknowledged if the switch bolts into a plastic insert in a dash pod...

Carb headers sort the ignition curve for modern fuel new cap new rotor new leads new plugs properly gapped clean bulkhead connector on the ignition side at least clean earth straps check battery clamps make sure you see battery voltage at the input to the ballast this alone can create...

I believe Australian engines did not get hit with with too many emissions requirements until later in the decade and in general were built off the original LA 318 specifications. built in a new facility with an engaged workforce. it will be closer to the book than not. if the car is as...

yes Unless you have access to stuff to do the job differently which is nigh on impossible today without unobtainable or maybe custom bearings, a pile of main caps and a dogged determination to find the right one i was just illustrating that there are other ways cap off a different block...

are you off the gas when changing? come off completely see how you go and provided you are not free wheeling at 90 i.e you are somewhere in the 20 mph range all should be well. Or come off to reduce engine rpm to where you think it should be for first, see how you go OR double declutch...

years ago in Australia small country garages were issued with a main cap repair set by Chrysler Australia and a special set of bearings that covered the normal oversizes plus a range with a couple of thou variation that came from the production line that "fixed up" bad tolerances, in...

Yes that is exceedingly useful info perfect sneaky way to work out what you got without dismantling

or see if you can identify the trim/options looks like you car could be "L" or "J" if yours is "J" whatever that means it at least had a 9 1/4 when it left the factory if its an L and was a Europe assembled car we often got "special" equipment.. don't know why probably local...

which potentially means the safety piston/shuttle valve will have flipped in the distribution block switching off the rears, and keeping full pressure available to the front. most of the time they never move so when they do they can get stuck. there are 2 types one that locks out and the...

...a bit rough cast and too fat in 1 area, at some point in their 50 year life :) they cleaned up nice i took the slight webbing out of the 90* angles and a bit off the face below the slider head and all was well. if i have to do it with factory parts i can easily understand the odd...

if all else fails pumping fluid in from the wheel end can occasionally work. you need a hose tail/barb with the same thread to replace the bleed nipple and if your pump is powered rather than hand activated a friend to watch the level in the master cylinder whilst occasionally slowly pumping...

I agree my use of modern was to cover lambda sensors produced for OEM use by big players in the supply chain rather than the older narrow and wide band sensor that were produced to work with a very specific ECU or gauge system which were quite rightly bespoke jobs for the application...

Modern gauges should all read the same to within a tolerance that is small. A modern wideband sensor comes paired with a calibration module in the plug connector. they etch off a chunk of some resistor or chip in the plug connection section to get it calibrated that connector and sensor are...

Id be tuning to somewhere 12.5 - 13.5 at WOT closer to 14 at cruise looking for 14 , 14.1 14.2 if i lift off the throttle, and its running down on the idle circuits with the throttle closed on the stop. i.e higher RPM than idle, with higher vacuum and at that "raised" RPM way less...

the fitment method will take into account the harmonic frequencies that are being damped,across the rpm range between idle and redline. they usually try to push the primary harmonic above readline with the mass of the damper and cater for secondary and tertiary harmonics in the operating range...

Id find a good second hand one, just to check. if it fits tight, you know its not your crank and you can then make your decision on whether its a good enough replacement for your application or you want aftermarket ROMAC does or Did do a range of sizes to cater for re-claimed cranks or...

Ive dipped in an out through out of the thread i aint read it all sorry... torque, measurable physical unit diveability emotive description of function of car on the street 350 ftlb or torque at 300 rpm 280 at at readline of 700 rpm Ok that's a1930s 20 litre diesel tug-boat motor...

a quick check, and remflex gaskets are pre cut perforated steel shim graphite gaskets.. Perfect.... for head to header if you just need rings of the stuff see below I had not heard of them being UK based but sounds like the stuff i got mine made from due to little support for my engine i...

i have used expanded graphite on a perforated steel shim 1.5 or 2mm thick they use it for the "super heated steam" pipes in power generation good enough for a nuclear power station good enough for my 6 cylinder combined inlet and exhaust gasket. :) works well good compressibility and seals...

yes i think you are on the right track id guess redline US and Hardimans Redline Australia are working from the latest detail which was probably shared with them from Webcon UK who seems to have a undue amount of sway over what gets made and the features it has. All 3 companies seem to...

@Bewy it doesn't, but seems like a potential source for the wrong float, and is also a favorite for jeep 4.2 so might be relevant for slant 6s as well.... @halfafish i just picked up that weber stuff from here.... the OP above was suffering so a quick search of the internet for...

The other method you can use But i will caveat this with its a method i use on DCOEs and IDFs not DGV. I didn't know if it would work on DGV but looking at the diagrams in the attachment above i can't see why its application here would not be valid. operation is similar, fuel should be...

@pishta can fully understand your frustration weber made them brass floats LCN spain owned the brand and made them brass and plastic floats and made edelbrock carbs as well Magneti Marrelli owned the brand and runs the factory that LCN ran and makes them brass and plastic floats. and one...

Ah, just realised I can't see some of the photos when i look at this at work. just looked on phone and now can. i'll come back and edit below as its wide of the mark for that carb (later) added a bit at the bottom after this bit that is potentially not that useful... :) there is always...

yes if you can find one they come in at a mid price but as with rubber products NOS is not necessarily best the first versions from the mid 70s used electronics that needed to be protected with a perfectly matched condenser/capacitor or as Lucas did in the AB14 (Jaguar HEI ignition) used a...

Cant fault that there are better versions But MSD #83647 takes you out of the realm of general fit it and forget modules that's a proper custom job.... $20 vs $190 is the extra $170 worth it for a module that in essence can run to a higher rpm. Its gonna depend on your needs i...

Yes id buy a mid price one where the manufacturer is happy to put their name on the box or preferably on the module wells neidorff borgwarner delco Napa Echlin etc i would not buy a HIGH POWER version from any of the ignition specialists. there isn't really a lot they can do to make it...

if you can work you way through the text in the attached file which is written froma triumph TR4 sports car owners point of view you will get an insight into why HEI is pretty good actually the attached PDF is too much try this link instead its an easier read

the landcruiser 80s 90s oil filter is also nice :) fits where a PH8A used to fit has anti drain back and just kinda feels quality in the hand. Also falls into the category of "at your Toyota dealer but there are no customers for it" think i paid £5 + tax last time i take the...

Ah is slant 6 dan, one and the same as the lighting man, Daniel Stern.....? If so i am a bit slow...me if not i am grasping at the wrong end of the stick again. :) Dave
