    Give Tony at Capital Steering and Suspension in Canberra a ring (02 6280 5243).  They used to send those pumps away to someone who could recon them, but that was a long time ago.

    It's the little things, that make all the difference!

    Thanks 🐻. I fitted a GT40R today and it was smooth as... 😎

    Could well be. As Sparky Dave said, you need the Resistor coil, for anything with contact points. Doesn't matter if it's a "coke can" or a T -coil, as long as it has the R after the GT40.

    I have been running a GT40 coil with my standard Bosch points system, since I rebuilt the 302W engine 13 years ago. It runs smooth as glass most of the time but sometimes grumbles and runs rough. I could never figure out why. Is it because it has a GT40 instead of a GT40R???

    That sort of coil should be fine, just needs to be a GT40R coil - to suit a resistor wire/points system
    GT40R is a 9v coil - to suit points
    GT40 is a 12v coil, for electronic style ignition

    Are there any problems with running a GT40 coil on my ZD? It still has points. Sometimes it runs rough and wants to stall. Could that be because I should have a resistor coil on it?

    Well, it poured down last night. And no water in the cab... 😁

    Not sure if this is in the right section but my BF ute always fills up with water on the passenger side after a good downpour. So I went searching for water entry points and found a couple of holes in the A pillar seams (under the rubber strip) whereby a piece of wire passed straight through. See attached pic. I have sealed it with a length of duct tape and if that works, I'll run a bead of sealer along the seam for a more permanent fix...

    Yes, I thought it may be handy info for those who have later model Falcons as well...
