do a burnout? if it cant do one, its a 200... i would pull a spark plug out and wind the motor over by hand with a ziptie in the spark plug hole(or a straw or similar) measure the stroke.. that would be the best way i know of.. (i don't know the stroke of either but it wont be hard to find out if there isn't another way)

I knew it was something like that with the pick up tube, but it's been 30 years since I owned a Corty.
but I'll disagree with you on the dipstick tube hole in the block.
ive got a XD sitting here at the moment with a ball bearing in the rear hole, and it's a numbers matching car.

And one of the main caps have a threaded hole for the oil pump pick up support, in cortina.

Here's a part Mike Vine, part Graham Ritter set up I'm playing with at the moment.
dont care what it goes like, it just looks cool.

Ok, no spec card with it, maybe he doesn't want anyone stealing his secrets.
but stamped on the end is .

@Mr Polson, what upper ball joints does Repco sell in Tassy?

TRW. Silverline balljoints are long gone, unless a few stores have old stock laying around.

I personally prefer to offer WASP suspension parts to my customers if they can wait for it to be ordered in.
Unlike TRW, WASP parts are greasable, and normally around half the price.

Saw those Aussie Speed crossy blower setups at the Ballarat swap meet yesterday, look cool, but also don't look very efficient.
I'd go turbo, because I wouldn't want a offset blower hanging out the bonnet, and, I'm bias.
 

What, the number plates and user name don't give it away?
Yeah, I've had it for about 12 years now, and, no, it's not for sale.

Simple. Cause you were not interested in the performance side of the car so it was a suggestion to return the car back to standard which is exactly what you were talking about. Exactly the same reason I said you should remove the shelby drop in the front, your not after a performance car.
You said you wanted the parts off my wagon to restore the parts on the sedan you were shit bagging as crap, so I gave them to you and now they are untouched and up for sale? Even the standard drum diff off the sedan that I said I would give a away for free cause it had decent rubbers in the upper and lower arms-you said no I will take it if your going to offer it for free.... and now you have it up forsale. THAT is my reason for frustration.
 
 
Editted to remove unnecessary content

Hmmmmmm. I supplied parts in good faith to be used as spares to help out. To find out they are being sold to make money, in the same week they are taken away for free.........Just decided that the rest of my stuff is going to the dump!! Was trying to help out but guess that's not every ones cup of tea.
 
 
PS I'M OUT

Got a name, or link for the pressure relief valve?

Can't help with which is better but I'm using the weekend warrior setup Sly mentioned, its an electric fuel pump with fuel reg and a pressure relief valve with return to tank line between fuel pump and pressure reg. The relief is actually attached to the engine side of the fuel pump and sends fuel back to the tank once fuel pressure raises above relief valve pressure rating. Doing it this way I am told it saves the pump as apparently pumps die due to making excessive heat or something like that when they have to constantly use their internal reliefs.
This is the fuel pump and reg combo I'm using (they come together as one "kit")

 
here's a link to their website http://www.trickflow.com/parts/tfs-25013  One thing I don't understand is why it says its for drag racing applications only?
 
 

Provided the electric pump has an external relief, I would run it over a mechanical pump - all day every day. Why? Because a mechanical pump is a constant drag load on the camshaft as it runs off the fuel pump eccentric. It's method of operation also induces harmonics into the engine, something I try my hardest to eliminate, especially in a crossflow.
 
I have only recently swung around to this way of thinking and this has occurred for a couple of reasons.
 
1. Electric pump tech has come along way and most top line pumps now feature an external relief. What does this mean? It means a significant reduction in pump noise and extended pump life. Why? Because when there is no demand for fuel the excess goes out of the pump (thru the ext. relief) back to tank, instead of being relieved internally. When it is relieved internally it super heats and aerates the fuel. That is bad.
 
2. mechanical fuel pump induced harmonics.
 
3. Reduced load on the camshaft. Yes the fuel pump takes amps to drive, you don't get something for nothing, and there is more load on the alternator, but it's the lesser of to evils.
 
4. I've found a way to make even the cheapest pump relieve externally. The set up the Wagoon is talking about above is my cure.
 
Put simply we reg fuel to the carb at 6.5psi, but the pump is capable of pushing 14psi and wants to do that. When there is no demand the fuel pressure raises until such time as the pump reaches its internal relief setting (14psi) then the unused fuel goes around and around inside the pump.
When we fit the hydraulic check valve (1/2 bar or 7.5psi) between the outboard side of the pump and the regulator, it senses when the fuel pressure goes above the reg setting and returns the excess fuel to tank. Basically eliminating the chance of fuel ever going over the fuel pumps internal relief. In doing that we improve fuel quality and reduce pump noise.
I've used this system on streeters, drag cars, burnout cars and meth speedway cars without issue. Even used cheap shit eBay fuel pumps on methanol with this set up and got 2 years and counting out if the pumps. Take the load off them and they last a damn site longer.
 
So short answer, electric pump with external relief for the win.

Thanks SPArKy Dave.
The aftermarket ones are rubbish with their pressed tin impellers.

As an electroplater by trade, I say.
Listen to Hendrixhc.
Taking them to a electroplater is the only way to remove the chrome, sand blasting will not work, and soda blasting won't even touch the chrome.

Correct.

Cav, when I fitted a EB diff into my ZL, I used a hand brake cable out of a NA and it fitted without mods, was just two piece instead of one.
 
If your interested I've got a EBII sedan diff sitting in the back yard that I need to get rid of, complete disc to disc, with control arms and swb tail shaft in 3:23 LSD.
