The old man is having some troubles with his conversion from points to HEI. The HEI distributor he brought, was out of a VK with EFI. I was telling him that although, it will run, the advance curve may be too much and wouldn't help his engine performance? "as I once heard that this was the case". Anyway he installed it and it ran well for about 2 minutes, and then started to run erratically. HEI Bosch coil is installed "brand new compact type, with new Bosch leads and plugs". We then pulled out the distributor and found that there was one tooth on the composite cog broken? Wondering/guessing that this wouldn't help?. The other thing we've noticed is that the top section? stator plate? had a large excessive amount of movement "maybe an inch".

Hey guys, my HK prem is just about to jump into the spray booth this week and all I need is a WB steering coloumn cover, the lower peice as it has a WB steering column in it. Just wondering if anyone out there has the peice im looking for? Will pay postage if not local.

Hi I am chasing a stone tray for a HR if anyone has one. Preferably located in the Brisbane area. Thanks

Picked up some work carting scrap and when I was in the yard this morning this load came in from the country. Far as I can tell it is a genuine HQ GTS sedan, silver with orange stripes. I bought one the same colour about 20 years ago but know it's not my old one because I got it resprayed non-original colours. None the less it made me sad to see it in such a bad way. Further down in the load was (I think) an EK ute. The other blokes in the yard couldn't understand my sorrow(HEATHENS!)

Anyone have a decent set of extractors for an HR for sale?
The closer to S/E of Melb the better. I got this nice set from Crocky for 70 bux, I'm happy to pay similar price for a set in similar condition....
Reply here, or hrambo@oldholden.com

Thanks. ...Tim.

I have a VK commodore which I bought to use as a paddock basher, but it's just taking up room at the moment so it HAS TO GO.
Located at Killara, Sydney. 2071.

The good:
225,000 odd k's
Most body panels in great condition
ROOF RACKS
Fuel injected 3.3 L BLACK motor (so it has the extractors, sodium valves, warmer cams, etc.)
Trimatic gearbox
Had recent service (found a sticker for a service 3,000k's ago)
Interior is great, the drivers seat has some wear
Power steering
Power windows
Power mirrors
Power boot opening
Stereo

The bad:
Won't start. Had it running very well a few weeks ago, but it didn't like running out of fuel. I suspect the stuff in the bottom of the fuel tank has blocked the fuel filter.
No rego
No rear bumper
Front bumper is cracked

will 18' SSA 403 WHEEL+TYRE COMMODORE MONARO GTS HSV rims fit on a HX? or is it all different

Years and ayears and years and years and years and years and years ago, i use to own a hk gts munro and on the back of this hk gts monaro was the louver, i still have this louvre today..

So i'm gunna chuck it on the hg gts.

So give us some feed back on whats ya recon....good move not a good move....look ok or look out of place, and if i wasnt thinking about the kids should i still do it...........thanks

hi guys!

ive asked a question before about what is the differance between V8 AND 6cyl HQ disk brakes,

im putting a V8 into a 6cyl body and wanted to know if i have to change the brakes

i had a reply saying they are all the same, but the 2 V8 HQ's i owned had PBR calipers and the 3 6cyl ones had gridlock calipers-steel (not the alloy ones)

which brand are better? and are the disc interchangeable between PBR and GRIDLOCK calipers,

ive just put the gridlock calipers onto the V8 chassis which had PBR calipers before and they seem to fit and line up well

thanx guys

Cant wait to finally be able to drive by myself. After a stressful half an hour with the driving instructor i found out that ive now got my P's. First go too! Cant wait to hit the road in my old holden.

Got a homemade stock crate here, suits a 6x4 trailer.
I brought it to modify to suit my 8x5, but after considering all the work required to enlarge it, i`m better of building my own
will upload a pic this afternoon

Hi Guys.
Appologies if this is covered elsewhere; I did search for it but couldn't find anything relevent.
I was wondering if someone could clear something up for me; about 6 months ago I was talking with someone from the Qld Holden Club (it was at the Watts Bridge Fly-in, I believe he owned a black DeVille.) and I was told that a vehicle won't pass roadworthy if it only has one door mirror; either a passenger side mirror has to be fitted, or apparently the drivers door mirror removed...
this is going to be an issue, since after some 23 years, my LH rego expired in Janurary; it hadn't been driven (outside backing it down the driveway) in about 2 years as it needs he ball joints replaced.

I have a HZ 1 tonner with the HQ front etc, and I changing the front and guards over to HZ style. The front Cowl Panel has some rust in it and I want to replace the whole piece. I have read that the 1 tonners have a different Cowl Panel and will of of the after market pieces for HZ fit straight in or is it best to leave it there and try and repair this section
