Very nice , looking forward to a catch up at Echuca :thumbsup:

Any reason why the carbs are off for rego ? There would be no emissions etc problems surely ???
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Just because it's easier to manage in my time frame. No expected engineering issues with tripples.

Thanks Melly. Standard Holden manifold and carbs off XU1 LC torana. Linkages, 3way fuel line block and air cleaners sourced from Sparesbox. A Speco fuel pressure gauge and a pressure regulator/fuel filter from Malpassi (Filter King type).

Well done Brett. Will you drive it for a bit before you start mucking around with the CD150s?

Good one Brett,

Mine had 3 goes, but it was just small stuff that stopped it, really my fault in some ways.

It feels rewarding to drive a car thats modified and not illegal, go and enjoy !!!!!
