Must say I’m confused on the general consensus of hot / cold plugs in the NGK BP range.

This chart shows the lower the number the hotter.

Can’t work it out…

Block zero decked to pistons Compression of 145psi across the board Clive 82 grind cam - valves set to .014 as per cam card...

Drink holders! What a treat!

To calibrate the fuel gauge black box, I drew to lines on a board at a distance apart that was the depth of the fuel tank. With these representing the top and bottom of the tank, you can lay the sender down and use the top, the bottom and half way positions of the float to calibrate. You can do thi...

Good to see you back Drew. A few of us have spent time in a similar black hole, but tried to tough it out. Too embarrassed to ask for help. Figured everyone on tv, movies and the internet had perfect lives, and that we were alone. Mates like those on the forum make a big difference. Don’t listen to...

Drew, I admire your courage in opening up, on a forum no less. Umm, who did your seats? The colour and texture of the vinyl is an exact match for my FCs' (note plural possessive) interiors. (I'd buy the wagon tomorrow if it came up for sale. Just f.y.i.) Rob Hi Rob, I need to make you one of those ...

Wow mate, I know we touched briefly on this the other day - it takes a brave man to lay it all out like this where almost a dozen people will see it :lol: My phone is always on if you want to chat :thumbsup: wagon looks great , I have seen those conversion boxes advertised and thought they would be...

It’s been great chatting and talking shit with you again of late Drew. It takes a big person to openly admit when things are not good and seek help to get themselves sorted so good to hear you are making progress. You have done a kick arse job of the wagon and I’m looking forward to checking it out...

Did you fix his numberplates while you had the spanners out ???? ? :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin: :lol: :lol: :lol: Great to see it on the road :thumbsup: I guess you are referring to the FB part😎 Funny thing is about the plates is that I searched SFB219 many years ago when I first got the wagon ...

I didn't cajole him.................. Yet. Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk Yeah but when you did cajole me you went for the heart😀 ‘Get back on the forum Drew, everyone loves you and they miss you and want to know what’s going on’ FFS Clay pulling out the low blows😆 Anyways it worked, and I’ll...

So anyways I feel I owe you all an explanation on why I haven't posted in 12 months. I just looked and my last post was 02/02/23 near exact 12 months ago, directly at that time I was wrapped up in a toxic relationship with a really unstable woman who I gave way to much energy to and she drained me. ...

Hey guys. Shock horror! Yes I’m actually doing a post lol In regards to the mustang tank, or any tank which is not an early golden 0-30ohm gauge you can buy what’s called a ‘fuel guage calibration box. I bought one from Gauge works here in Adelaide. In theory it was meant to be simple to calibrate b...

On another note I had my auto electrician point out that the metal tek screws I have fixing all of fuel and brake lines to the chassis with will most likely fail an inspection when it comes registration time. He said they fail tek screws and prefer self tapping screws with a flat washer under them. ...

Here is a procedure I found on line for a brand I can’t remember, but I’m sure they are basically all the same
