Yes Vintage Air has a thermostat controller. The other one looks just to be on/ off so may be a better bet. I suspect you can run the VA unit without the fancy stuff as an on/off but probably better buying the cheaper one if you go that way. Either way there are a few options out there on the web fo...

Great, thanks for that info Harv. I was thinking last night that I might silver solder a made up original diameter fuel line onto the supplied fitting as it slides neatly inside - just need to adjust the bends a bit. I'm keen to crank it up and test today and I've got new fuel pipe left over from th...

Thanks Harv. Will that banjo fitting just seal up against the carb body ( and not use the flared fitting inside)? I was wondering about the fuel line size, but figured it all flows through the needle and seat so probably not a problem with the original line size. Hopefuly it's not sooo thirsty that ...

Any advice on fuel line connection to 350? It came with a bigger flared straight tube that heads straight to the cylinder head. I need a 45degree bend and smaller diameter tubing to match up with original fuel line. Other than that I think it's sorted.

My one is part of my aircon stuff. If you do a search you can find the Vintage Air ones or other makes.the Vintage Air one is the lower photo.

Yes, thats what I meant

The CD150s are pretty thirsty I take it. Webers would be more so. I’m interested to see how the 350 goes. FB ute fixer upper, EK van on rotisserie I don't think the economy is bad. EGR is about 12.5% at idle and around 13% on the run. It's not my area of expertise but I think that's about right. Th...

Electric taps are easy and effective. Got one on my old boy.

Many thanks Harv. 350 arrived today so very timely post. I know Greg is absolutely right and I will give it some serious thought if I can flog off the CD setup and cross over without too much dosh. I also, am a fan of hungry intakes, complicated linkages and fuel lines like tenticles. In the meantim...

Thanks Neil, he ran OK too. I will have to revisit my bonnet hinge - it's sitting up noticeably+ in one of those pics. The FC has a thumping big Chev V8 with some sort of sniper type setup and filling up the front on CRS front end and chassis kit. It is trimmed beautifully inside too. Turns out it l...

And one more

Nice day for a little cruise to Gundaroo with some neighbours. Apologies for poor photography.

I can just imagine what turning the crank would be like on your fully advanced timing hot grey motor Harv. I'm wondering if you have had the cranking experience before? Anyway, it's always good to know what plot you are hatching and subsequently delivering on. Keep those thumbs clear.....

No 'fraid not. Got stuff on at home this year.

Thank you for the kind words.
