CHESTNUTXE

i reckon my mate was just thinking of the xbgt thinking the xc (gt-gxl) had the same set up.

Thats right.

THOSE thermoquads had a tag on em to suit the engine tranny combo,eg..a certain one would only suit a 302 4 speed,althou there was slight difference in choke department between auto a manual,its possible that manifold started in xc but i have only seen em on xd's onwards,i have had 2 xc engines both 302,s with squarebore irons ? probly cause someone changed them sometime,another mate reckons the GXL came with a squarebore but i dont belive that,the whole thing is any of these cast iron manifolds came be swapped with an adaptor to suit any carb set up,just the squarebore ones are becoming scarce.

I think you will have to run the 94 dt cam ,i think the au is different bud.

Joe (bullfrog) has found a switch to send me,i will fit next weekend,then get the ghia driving lights and spotlights wired up too.

nice score m8

nice

I just watched on you tube a comp cams video on 4 pattern hyd roller cams,because the runners are longer and some are shorter the cam is ground differenly,very good to watch.

yep

On the weekend I might give it another look but while its all out mas as well just wack the new one in.

after about 100km of driving the plugs are clean but now im getting a cough or sneeze at high rpm when the secondaries are opening,maybe now the float is to low ?

I checked the switch again and yeah it wont pull out that 2nd time so i will try and find a working one,because my car is a replica i put the ghia loom for the driving lights but they are not wired up yet,so is the factory way to hook them up to the left switch as well with the bosch spotties ?

Just the one on the right banno,the pictures on the switches differ slightly ,when i put the underdash all back together im sure the spottie knob wont go on the normal light stalk they are different fittment.

Thanks for the info mate

YUP the high beam wont stay on i have to hold it manualy,the switch will only pull once,i took it apart to look for an easy fix but nope,i might need a new one,nealy 2 years i own this car and never drivin it at night lol.

baahahahahahahahah thats why the yanks liked our pillow blocks

sic

where is the engine pics,c4 ?

wunderbar

For all of us that are reading this what is bump steer and what is the point of fitting one of these kit's ,cheer's.

yes true i left my engine number raw on the block ,very easy to see.

I remember a story from the late 80's when a guy went to register a genuine GTXB sedan after spending good money on a nice paint job the RTA at five dock put acid on the chassis number to make sure it wasnt tamperd with.

All the person does is shine a torch on the number and check it against the paperwork,they dont poke-sand-rub-grind or anything,it took me 10 minutes and it was all done,that was in QLD.

Just stamp it ya self and lob up and get it done.

You can start with just getting a little bit of a corner off and the rest should follow quite easy,or use a wide scraper and be careful not to damage the bodywork,use petrol or kero and a rag to get old tape or glue off,same with the moulds make sure they are super clean before putting back on with 3m tape ,3 x small lengths should be enough all the way down .
