Re: Harv's FED thread
The drama is that the block was tunnel bored with the girdle in place. Now that stupid me had to cut the ends off the girdle, it may no longer be true. Strip all the bits off it, torque up the caps and baby girdle, and off to Duncan Foster to measure for roundness. Wish me luck. Dammit... machine s...

Re: LS1EK
Check the harness carefully for previous owner bodges. Replace those. Reuse what you can. The factory wiring quality is pretty good other than normal wear and tear. Splice in new stuff. Buy a quality crimper - I bought a name-brand ratchet crimper, and learned the hard way that they look good but ar...

Re: EK Wagon V6 project for sale
Agree that market sets the price, but for what it’s worth I reckon your price is reasonable. I can only reflect on what my wagon conversion cost, but if I wanted another project I would buy yours.

Re: Accelerater Pedal
G'day Billy, How much cable pull do you need? To check it, have a helper hold a steel rule (or tapemeasure) near the Holley where the accelerator cable attaches. Use your fingers on the carby throttle arm to move it from idle to WOT, and see how much the cable end moves on the steel rule. If you use...

Re: March events
Lol… I’m referring to the van's (and T'rana's) colour (Strike Me Pink). The Torries had some cool colour names - The Lone O'Ranger, Yellow Dolly, Lettuce Alone, Plumdinger Purple.
Not quite as cool as BMC’s Hairy Lime Green for Minis.

Re: Harv's FED thread
Agree. The Norman will provide a lot of mixing and some vapourisation from the vane heat. I can have (relatively) mismatched nozzles into the Norman and the engine won't know the difference. If this thing ran with no supercharger, the nozzles would be a lot more critical for vapourisation and would ...

Re: Harv's FED thread
Onwards to nozzles. The injection process uses a pump to put fuel into the motor. The pump spins up as the engine spins, giving more fuel as the engine need it. In fact, the pump provides a little too much fuel, so some is sent back to the tank by the primary bypass. The primary bypass has a “pill” ...

Re: Gear Lever (Original Column)
Masterparts says the auto and manual levers are different.
If you get stuck I'll likely have one here, though not sure how good the chrome will be.

Re: Harv's FED thread
Some more progress on fuel pumps. Some time back I got the McGee grey-motor fuel pump tested. This is the little one that sits on top of the magneto angle drive, and neatly clears the Repco inlet manifold. Angle drive assembled with pump and magneto side view.JPG Flow bench testing showed that at 40...
