  6. I know in the ba on wards the pumps had to use the right oil if not they had a whine (dex III is fine but will whine) but use the ford stuff for it and will go away, So just make sure the standard GM oil is up to the specs

    looking for some one to make a manifold

    Hey stumps found this on facebook its through www.aussiespeed.com
  10. Here is a bit of a rundown on the replacement of the heater core. It was done on an XD so could change slightly between models. I didn't take the photos when i pulled it apart so these are only when it was put back in. All the screws around the outside need to be undone. It is also stuck together with a sicaflex type glue. This is the inside of the heater box, there is normally an air con evaporator on the rhs but im not running air con any more so its been pulled out. The heater core just pulls out of the box The insulator rubber just slips off and on over the top Note the one pipe that has the curve in it. It needs to go to the top of the heater box when put back in. While you have it apart you might as well refoam the flaps. I used a 10mm square that i got from spotlight with a spray on glue When putting it all back together just use a bead of silicone to seal it

    Heater Core Replacement

    Its not as bad as every1 thinks main thing is take your time pulling the dash out and putting back in so you make sure you get all the bolts so you don't break any of the dash as they are getting harder to find in gc so they don't rattle

    i do agree with the rest of the guy it was a ass to keep tuned and there was always a pair of pots that was running rich, but if you have the time to play with it a bit will be lots of fun but also lots of headaches

    instead of drilling the rivits out just undo the window track bolt at the bottom of door and pull out in one
