    what to fix first on the ba

    if you're getting a mechanic to do the diff bushes, replacing the blade arm bushes at the same time will be easiest, as you have to undo them to lower the diff cradle, throttle body will be fine
  3. @BTS666 Yeah I put some N50R14's(around same size as 295/50) on my XE sedan, only had around 3mm clearance to the lower control arm & rubbed while moving, If changed to Lower control arm to a tubular or RHS like then would have more clearance, but would fit a 275 quite easily stock,

    It's official: LPG is now dying off

    Seen BP Swan Hill has removed its LPG tank, not sure on Kerang Shell, they had their tank retested & new valves fitted the other month, but hadn't had it filled few weeks back. but still have 2 in town, & available in most towns around, I've recently brought a '76 F100 w/duel fuel, but looks to not run on petrol in 15+ years, need to get its 200lt tank retested, while I can still get LPG locally I'll keep it on the effie,

    MSD Streetfire Hookup

    As I posted on Facebook but will post here as well incase anyone else wants to see wiring diagram, XE style is MAG pickup, you'll also need to cut the RED looped wire that comes out the box for 6 cyl firing

    Cam rpm operating range

    means power will start declining around 5800, some tapper down, others fall off faster, so possibly peak HP around 5600ish Valve float is more dependant on valve train & valve springs, my 302C when I first built it made power cleanly to 6000-6200 but after a while the valve springs went softer & if you didn't shift at 5500 lost like 20hp+ by 5700

    small starter motor question

    I have 1 7/8'' to 3 1/2'' 4into1 Proflow headers & have decent clearance to starter motor, but did add a heat fabric type heat shield just incase. I have B&M pan & aeroflow braided flexable dipstick on my C4 (pan fill/C10), I added a male to male fitting into the pan, then a female to female 90° fitting, then B&M dipstick adapter, then aeroflow dipstick. Standard pan & dipstick 'just' cleared my extractors, but also know @clevocortina copied my setup for his XD as he had clearance issues,

    Holley Spreadbore 650 double pumper

    It was the Accel pump diaphram, just leaked fuel everywhere, Filter stud had came lose a few times was a bad fit, I was like where did it go... must of fallen on the ground. bit later, knock knock knock. was alright with a new stud, Piston had part of the stud stuck in it after I removed the head, (RHS of broken section), block looked good & is standard bore so should clean up alright.
