Sure its got rust but when you cut it all out there is none.

Most people probably dont realise this but the later holdens have the floor positioned at the bottom of the sills where the EK has it on top.

The extra room let the designers lower the roof lines.

An advantage here is there are so ...

Could be anything harv,

You did labour that motor hard in the first burnout.

ring lands probably, especially if it happened just then, could be broken rings as well.

You probably already know, check all your valvetrain then heads off, check your valves for seating and the seals.

Then the piston ...

Progress is good,

I ended up painting over the stone gaurd, it still chips though.

Its hard to convince yourself to drive a car once you spend years building it, noises, oil leaks, steering feel and the dreaded stone chips !

Keeping underneath gleaming is a task on its own.

Looking forward to ...

Yep,

Ive had the same, although the metal bushes screw hard up against the control arm itself the issue is the amount of thread engaged on the pin.

They should be equal. I can't honestly remember but i think you can turn the pin and that moves it left or right.

Anyway problem solved by the looks ...

So I would like to add that the power wire should come from an ignition source and fused, probably the same circuit as your fuel gauge or something that comes on when the ignition is on.

As Blacky has mentioned power to the globe then out to the switch wire, this will ground the globe for the power ...

Ill be up for a set of Bonnet letters when they come about.

Can vouch also bonnet different to boot.

Ha Old Holdens and money !!!

Which way do they mean? Own an old Holden and watch it drain your money !!!!

I really like the side pipes; what were they thinking ??????

Greg

That’s a great looking turn out.

Nice spots as well.

Greg

I've been to that tavern !

Pretty rough neighbourhood, Although, the food was good.

At the last nationals in Stanthorpe on of the NSW cars had the bush fall out of the lower control arm, HR front end.

They did find it down the road and put it back in, pays to check the torque and not let them go without grease !

Thanks Greg.
I understand that 2.25 inch diameter is the sweet spot for holden sixes, and matches to the extractor outlet size. My dyno is my butt, and my butt says its degrees quicker than it was driving it in for the work compared to driving it home. 🤣


Ha Ha, ultimately thats all that ...

Wow, thanks Harv. The exhaust fellow said that with better flow the muffler and pipe is less hot so that all makes sense too. I can attest that better flow means more ponies🤗


Better flow absolutely can make more power, but the dyno tells the real story. On a chassis or engine dyno, you ...

I deal with the public in my present role and I can tell you it's not just customer service that is going down hill.

It really shocks me that this modern world is full of selfish victims.

People dont wave if you let them in the traffic, they wont say please or thank you, and will give you an ...

A month away from working on a car, Neil what are you thinking ?? Good progress as usual, it really helps to understand what is needed after build 1 and 2 and 3, you just get to know all the intricacis.

Blacky looking at the melon hanging out of the brace its gunna hurt for a long time. Apologies ...

Thats the trick,

You can tell your engineer that is double plated to increase the strength, should get some points there.

I'm assuming that black is epoxy primer you will rub back once the painting starts ?

Keep going mate your on the home stretch.
