Thanks for the replies guys. Wanna get one real soon and get that part of the build all squared away. Wasnt quite sure of the pressure levels. They seem to be advertised as any where between 25 and 200psi ratings.

Sounds like a short!

Sounds like theres a short somewhere! ( Sorry i always wanted to say that to someone cause i get it said to me nearly everyday!) Never is a bloody short though.

Where on an XE have people mounted said Holley blues?

Was wrecking out a padded console, which i believe might be fairlaine or xf, and decided to rip of the padding for a look see and realized that they are just XD XE ghia style consoles recovered. It doesnt look like it would be too hard to strip and get all the glue off and have a decent console at the end. Good thing is the plastic wasnt brittle from the sun cause its been covered.

Part price wouldnt kill yer just the freight!

I got a a good second hand one all mounts and buttons intact, no cracks. Depends where you are?

Will an XC one fit!?

My Xc had the exhaust dumped at the diff and it was crap. Couldnt hear any conversations inside and yes the fumes from the exhaust were quite bad. Much better with the twin 2.5" out the back!

Are ok in that case, i think a small sanding block and fingers are the go! lots of time and lots of patience.

Cheap sand blasting gun form Supercheap is good. Brass wheels on the angle grinder and smaller brass wheels on the drill work well to.

So with a battery in the boot, cranking over a Clevo, what cable rating have people used? eg gauge

So after looking for ages for some info i find this chart a few minutes after my post. I guess 0000 is the go.

Good old Kranky at Kandos gets the nod!

Im looking at some alternatives to the poxy kick down rod and dip stick tube on the FMX trans and have found these. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LOKAR-POLISHED-HI-TECH-KICK-DOWN-KIT-SUIT-FORD-FMX-TRANSMISSIONS-LK-KDP-2FMXHT-/170968998448?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27ce8be230&_uhb=1 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LOKAR-FLEXIBLE-BRAIDED-FMX-TRANSMISSION-DIPSTICK-FIREWALL-MOUNT-LK-TD-3FMXFM-/141021320717?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20d586960d&_uhb=1 Does anyone have any experience with them?

Sounds like their gear is alright then. Might has to invest. Might mean a matching engine dipstick coming up to.

Thanks for the input guys! Recon i might save some coin and give them a try.

Cheers Ronny. The set up has changed a bit since this thread. I have flipped the bracket and return spring and dropped one off. Its in my project thread if your interested!

Anyone running a drop base air filter on a holley with a throttle linkage kit? How does it go with clearance? What size element are you running for bonnet clearance?

Are they the same as the XE style odo gear?

Good man! They looks so shitty all rusty. Cheap fuckers at Ford couldnt even give them a lick of paint.

You going to clean that rusty old block up?

was gunna say tits not req with the clevo there but on second thoughts!

Im starting to form the opinion that any Gm saginaw pump is going to fit and work and it is a matter of judging the steering "feel". if it is to light then add some washers to the adjuster and if it is to heavy then remove some washers. I might just get the old pump and check the mountings are the same and try me luck with a chrome one.
