XC GS Falcons spare wheel is 12 slot as the rest on the car.

Cheers mate.

Before the ICE ignition setup I had that resistance wire hooked up to the MSD Blaster 3 Coil. The workshop manual said it's a Pink wire, I was expecting the usual Pink colour not the Pink that almost looks Red so I assumed It was a standard ignition wire. Drove the XB like that for over 5000k's. . Ice ignition made me realize it's not the right wire, plus the rubbery insulation it had once I peeled back the loom tape. That's what I thought too, just needed confirmation. I've been tracing that wire but it's going right into the dash, hard to keep going unless I pull the dash to bits. Don't want to that. I want to connect a new wire to a Green wire (thick) going towards a female plug which plugs into the turn signal/horn switch on the steering column and was hoping someone would confirm it's good enough spot to connect a new wire there.

Guys need to work out the best place to connect the wire to power the ICE ignition coil on my XB. On the schematics there are 2 wires going to the coil, one is the resistance wire going back to the ignition switch, the other is brown wire with red trace that's coming from the starter solenoid. I know the resistance wire is no good but what purpose was the Brown/Red wire from the starter solenoid for? I was thinking of connecting a wire on the Green ignition wire to the coil, would that be a better choice?.

Ok, end up taking the crank to the machinist said those holes were strange but said wont be an issue. Crank getting a grind and balancing done. Just glad there's no need for a replacement.

I've jumped the gun a bit, already bought a set of pistons to suit. Most stroker kits sell with .030 size pistons I need .020 size ones so I'll need to buy in bits.

Ok thanks guys I'm taking it to a machinist soon, a little worried he would say "bin it". If that happens it's going to be fun finding a decent crank for a good price.

Anyone?

I was doing a closer inspection on the crankshaft and I've noticed 6 small unusual holes on the journals. This from a late Cleveland block, is this something they did at the factory or from a previous engine owner and what would be the point of this? The journals are all standard size.

Definitely no worth the money you pay.

Wow was surprised about that, thought they were a good brand. Also looked at Performance Automatics but they're too expensive.

Looking to get the auto rebuilt I bought it as "need rebuild" but I installed it as is and managed to get 4000km before it starting to whine a little, more in 1st gear. I was looking at the TCI transmissiona (not sure what they're like) and sell mine or would it be cheaper to have mine rebuilt by a local transmission builder?

I bought a couple of these PTFE lines -6AN AF200-06-2M. With hose ends. Aeroflow AF201-06DBLK -6AN

Nope, other than disconnecting the tail shaft and loosening the u bolts to turn it over, this the only other way to drain the diff.

You were right to question that, upon further investigation I've found out it is not legal to have a GPS speedo in Australia. "A speedometer that relies solely on GPS will not be able to meet ADR 18 and therefore will not be legal in Australia for a vehicle with ADR 18 on the conformity plate." ADR 18 came in 2006 so I'm not quite sure if it applies to cars built from 2006 or applies to all cars no matter what year. In the end it's up to the individual if they wan't to install a GPS speedo, I'm sure many have done mods that isn't exactly legal.
