I'd say hopefully that's where it is so tonight when I get home I'll take the glovebox off and have a squiz, thanks for the help fellas.

Is it the vent that blows air to the floor in the cabin?

It fell down the square opening on the passenger side when u take off the plastic cowl grille so I don't know exactly where it is but I definitely know it fell down the hole or vent.

I think I'll pass on that & just leave it in there or keep trying with the magnetic tool pick up thingy.

That sux about the weather nath, Its nice & sunny here in melb today & just finished putting on brand new leads, oil/oil filter on my Zl.

Now you have 2 v8's.

Same same.

Not sure about that but I would think that for example a june 85 build xf ghia would have 6/85 stamped on the wheels. But mine are a mix of xf ghia ea s pac which have different months/years stamped on them which I got from the wreckers.

I think it only matters if you're doing a full on resto and want the correct wheels with the correct month/year stamped on them that go with that model car.grabbing singles from different models is fine imo. My snowflakes were all built in different years.

The one on the left is to coil + the one on the right looks like it plugs into the throttle position solenoid.

Hi guys I've gotta put in new bushes in the rear upper trailing arms in the Zl & want to know if I can do it by reversing the rear end up onto car ramps? Also the bolt at the rear of the arm does it have the nut welded to the bracket at the other end or do I need to get a spanner on the nut & a ratchet on the bolt head? Cos if this is the case it looks like I need to remove the wheels/calipers & rotors to get to the nut.

Thanks Thom.

heres the models that i know of that came with the snowflakes 1 xe esp 2 xe ghia 3 xf ghia 4 zl fairlane 87 model 5 zl fairlane sportsman 6 ea s pac 7 nc III fairlane sportsman i think thats it. looks like the 91 xf falcon s ute also had em from factory

Hi guys decided to change the vac advance unit on the dizzy on my 302 marked the dizzy where the rotor was pointing (at no. 6) changed the vac advance unit and put the dizzy in but to get it back in the the button was just a bit left of the mark. Now it won't start it almost feels like it will but wont. I turned the motor by hand and lined up the timing marks on engine and pointer on the block but still nothing. Any suggestions? I heard about taking out no. 1 spark plug & turning until u hear a hiss but can someone elaborate on this?.

Yeah u told me that Joe.

From what I have been told the early esp wheels the spokes were unmachined but the I think xe xf Ghia spokes were machined like in polsons pic.

I was getting really frustrated with it on Sunday then the druggie fron next door comes out & goes "should of bought a holden" I told him to shut the f up b4 I jump over this fence and stab u in the head with my screwdriver & he quickly went back inside ha ha. I wasn't gonna stab him though but it was funny.

Thanks for everybodies help I appreciate it she is back up & running again also have to thank Ian from kam auto parts for his help aswell & i m glad I made a mistake cos now I've learnt how to do this & i feel confident in doing it again if & when I need to.

scratch that the hole is blocked off nothing to worry about

Just took the dizzy out & about to put it in now, also noticed this empty hole on the manifold is it supposed to have a bolt in it?

Thanks mate I will see how it goes.

OK I've finished for today so tomorrow I will 1 turn the engine by hand till it gets to the top of its stroke & blows out a puff of air. 2 line up the pointer to no.1 on the balancer 3 take dizzy out & turn it to no.1 then put it back in. So it should be at 1 on balancer and 1 on dizzy then hopefully she should start again is this correct?

So I've flattened 2 batteries now. I have 1 left in the zl. Should I turn the engine by hand to no.0 or 1 on balancer then pull the dizzy out & turn it to no. 1 on the dizzy then put it back in?

Turned it over by hand lined it up to 0 on the balancer then checked the dizzy and its sitting on no 6 cyl

It has ATC 1|0 |||| 0 ||||1|0 |||| 2|0 |||| 3|0 btc So is 0 supposed to be or or in between 0 & 2?
