The FB/EK fuel lines are supposed to be earthed, but that is the first time I have seen it done that way

only a half hour drive from our home at Willunga. So I am really looking forward to showing off the place....so you may want go start looking at accomodation sooner rather than later.


Why can I picture a collection of interstate caravans, tents and swags on your front lawn, all circled around ...

I have Powerglide automatic transmission parts removed from a 6-cylinder HK Holden. I suspect these are identical to the V8 parts, but am no Powerglide expert. I have the output shaft, speedo drive gear, planet carrier, reverse clutch assembly, extension housing and convertor.

The movement between the crank and damper looked like two things:

a) the damper ID was huge compared to the crank snout OD. Even with the key absent, those two parts should be a pretty good interference fit. Yours looked like you could almost rotate the balncer on its own by hand. Check both with a ...
