Not a mate just someone who's been recommended by a few people I know.

The carby looks pretty tired and needs rebuilding. It's a two-barrel Varajet from a VH commodore. Can anyone recommend a reliable place in the se burbs of melbs that can look at it for me? Will probably also need a new dizzy cap set up.

I know Muza, they have done a few quick fix and some hack jobs but for the price I paid for this car you gotta expect stuff like this. I was thinking of trying to clean the holes up a bit, maybe even welding some plate in there and doing the holes properly.

Cheers

Thanks Jarvo, I wanted to see the plate (even though you have typed them in the ID thread) as I hadn't seen an original Mandong Red plate ... very rare.
Thank you,
Steve
