I am considering upgrading the engine in my HQ.
As the red 202 engine already in the vehicle is in good order I have decided that if it is possible to make alterations to the unit I could upgrade it without having to contimplate dropping in a v8 and having to carry out all the added work in doing so.
Could you please advise me on the upgrades that can be performed to the original 202 engine for added performance, including block and head alterations, carburation alterations and any assosciated requirements needed for example brake upgrade or suspension.
contact Mike

Hi all, on the weekend I finally got around to installed a new oil pressure
sender unit. I bought the unit from Repco down here in Hobart and it is
considerably larger than the old oil pressure switch. The car is a 1977 HZ
ute, GTS dash (oil pressure GUAGE).

My problem is when I start the engine, the gauge goes to full deflection and
then slowly falls back down to zero. Does anybody have any suggestions??

The old oil pressure light (connected up to the old oil pressure switch) in
the old dash worked fine...

Cheers

This is a scoop for OLDHOLDEN.COM.
Remember - as All Holden Day news breaks - you will hear it here FIRST and EXCLUSIVE (As well as on the pages: http://www.ahd.oldho...)

Fresh from negotiations with the Maquarie Towns Hot Rod Club comes revelation that the 2002 All Holden Day Swap Meet (Only the swap meet, not Holden display, etc) may be held over TWO WHOLE DAYS.

This will ensure that the All Holden Day Swap Meet remains the nations PREMIER swap for Holden Parts and memorabilia, and will also ease congestion for spectators and entrants on Sunday Morning. With the bulk of the Swapping to be done from early Saturday Morning, 3rd August, this will leave roads open for others, and will allow people to view the Holden Display on Sunday 4th August at a more leisurely pace (And a respectable hour). There may be a two day pass to allow swappers to return on Sunday with out having to pay extra, and we may be able to tie in some swap tickets in with the fee to display your Holden.

Stay tuned to OLDHOLDEN.COM for further updates as news comes to hand.

NSW ALL HOLDEN DAY - Make mine a Holden!
3rd and 4th August 2002
