Sometimes these little things only become apparent when the bigger things have been eliminated. Speaking from experience…..

You can get fine spline Torana axles to run with true trac centre. Possibly the strongest banjo option but the cost adds up.

Genuine HR disc caliper for sure.

9” is overkill though relatively accessible. They are big and heavy. Shortened Borg Warner are easily capable of handling abuse. Banjo are easy but getting scarcer and dearer. They handle sensible use well in a lighter car such as FB EK.

Laminated glass, careful does it. Good to hear you are back to “normal”….

Temora is four months away. Plenty of time.

Keep up the good work. You’ll be driving it in no time.

Just found this picture on Facebook showing the port in question apparently being used for ported vacuum.

Very interesting indeed. Dr Terry stated that the bolt pattern was different but apparently not.

I have it that the supports, left and right handed, have one part number for FB EK EJ EH and HD (kingpin). Whereas there are multiple numbers for FE FC, varying by both date, and plant.

Thanks Harv. I will try running with no vacuum advance for a start. A friend I was talking to today has been running his 202 auto from there. I need to have another talk with him.

Or pump cam, which is in the first hole for lower idle speeds.

Secondary jets are 60. Unsure how to identify the pump spring.

Pump nozzle looks to be stamped 35

Finally going to try the 390 on Elle’s new sedan. I pulled off the primary fuel bowl. Main jets are marked 57. Power valve marked 65. Could that be 6.5? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250202/d56b7288a51c8fa99b1486d28d978fe7.jpg
Apparently i can drill the vacant port above the idle mixture screw ...

McLaren Vale Swap in the morning, so might pick up some bits there. [emoji16][emoji16]
