Ok, old thread but an update... All V8 Commodores and the 5 litre competition bred LX & UC Torana ran the large 190mm type Salisbury rear axle. The 4 & 6 cyl UC Torana as well as VB to early VK Commodore 4 & 6 cyl cars ran the small 178mm Holden Salisbury rear end with 25 spline axles. ...

FMD two years later, but thanx for the update.

My mum used the words conks out 30yr ago lol.

Anyway try tightening the screws on the solenoid on the carby, the one with the wires on it.
Sometimes they loosen and maybe with you playing around it is sucking air now.

I have a similar problem too, after replacing the prop valve the brakes are 90% better but still feel like the back will lock first and the pedal is softer than before.
Can the reactor valve be insitu but worn?

Just watch out for the Decepticons , I think they are the bad ones.

Where does the small rocker cover hose go to now cause my weber seems to be running ultra lean?

Thanx guys for your relpys, ended up finding a tap I had from a re thread kit and got out of it for about $15.
Cheers.

Hey guys, I have a 32/36 Weber and it leaks fuel from the inlet pipe that the fuel line goes to.
Is there an easy fix with some epoxy or something?

Hey guys, help needed, I would like to convert the inlet manifold heater fittings, anyone in the Sydney area be able to drill and tap two holes into an alloy manifold for me so I can install some fittings?
1/2, 3/8 and 1/4 inch BSP taps needed pending what fittings I can get.

Well I'm not much of a name dropper but superflow heads came to the party with a good head for me and confirmed my thoughts that it was previously done by a reputable "production line" remanufacture and that too much has been taken off the head and prolly a lil of the block, combined with ...

Good quality performance mufflers will lower the noise with minimal power loss... Another trick is say you have a 2 1/4" exhaust fit 2 1/2" mufflers... they flow better but still quieten it down Have to agree here, a guy running a 350 chev at the drags runs something similar (2.5in pipes ...

OK, thanx for all the reply's guys, I don't think for a minute that valves are hitting the pistons. Top pic is of no.4 and second pic is of no.2 and no.3. Gasket blew between no.3 and no.4. Piston notches are facing the front so I would assume the pistons are fitted correctly. We have a few here who...

Only impact marks are in the carbon.

Going across the ringland section with a straight edge the outer of the piston is deck height and the dome is above that.

Its a standard 1600 set to standard specs.

^ Not knocking you LOK15 but there are definate imprint marks in the carbon build up on the piston tops and initial measurements add up to contact. Sorry, not buying the carbon wash theory. Timing was backed off and still pinged an part throttle. When I say rattle, I mean the ping might not have bee...
