308

Greetings all, I have an 81 WB that is mocked up to look like a Sandman ute. Within 10 minutes of driving the car home the indicators stopped working. Thought it was the sloppy indicator stalk, bought a new one , nope, not that. Checked flasher cans (hazard and indicator) both working fine, fuse ok.

Hi all

I have a HJ Caprice 1976. It's the "stronger" 4-speed fan used for the factory aircon. As per usual, the heater / A/C fan motor is squawky and generally noisy. I've purchased another used one at not an insignificant price and, despite the seller (and I) testing it before mounting where it appeared to be OK, it too is noisy - probably worse.

Hi all

Can someone please tell me what I have got as not sure

Thanks

Hi All,

I got my 308 rebuilt, about 2 years ago. Has a Quadrajet, Bosch HEI, edelbrock performer, crane 276, 30 thou flat tops L34 heads always running 98 octane.

It would have all of about 500kms at this point. Starts and runs well. Issue i have is when cruising in 4th (Aussie 4 speed) If i lower the revs then accelerate theres a funny sort of flapping/rattle noise. It dosent sound nasty but it is annoying. I have found that if i accelerate and pull the choke slightly in (manual choke) it stops, but the engine bogs down.

Hey guys, I need a bit of help with a Rochester on my 308. It’s a factory commodore unit which runs absolutely perfect on the primaries, it actually goes rather well and will rev out, but once you hit the throttle and open up the 4 barrel it really dies, it struggles to get to 3500 rpm! I pulled the air cleaner off it and manually opened up the throttle to see if I could see what was going on, on the primary circuit its pumping fuel but once you open the secondaries no fuel squirts in?

Hi I am wondering if anybody can help me with some information about this strip that I have pictured for my HQ Coupe
I know that it screws to the roof of my car but these strips had silicon all over them and I am wondering does this need to be applied to the strip before I screw them on also is there a rubber in my kit that I should fit prior to fitting them on.

At the moment, my HT V8 is no longer a daily driver. I usually change it every 5000 Miles. But these days, fact is , its lucky to see 5000 miles in 2 years.
Question is should i change it at 5000 miles or maybe once a year? even though the mileage isnt up or more often? The oil is clear and im sure its still good but just wanted to know expert thoughts. For the record I use the penrite HPR 30 20w-60. The engine was rebuilt 3 years ago so it's nice and tight.
Your thoughts appreciated,
Alby

Hi guys I am about to fit my rear windscreen in my HQ Coupe but before I do I want to cut some holes for some speakers what size speakers is everybody using

Hi guys does anyone know what the moulded insulation attached to the evaporator box behind the engine on a HJ- WB Air cond is called and where a new one can be sourced or how an old one can be tidied up?

Can someone please tell me why wiper motor stays running when key is on and wipers have been selected

Hi guys!
Cheers for the add to your group.

My brother has just picked up a VH commodore with a HG 308 block. Nov 11 70. (L110)

There are some other numbers on the side after the 308H30###.
There's a space then possibly L867
Would anybody be able to help us out with them last letter and numbers? Could be 4867.

Thanks heaps!

Mick.

Hi All

Been a while...so long so my sign in doesn't seem to work.

I'm just reaching out to the you all to ask if anyone knows if HT V8's had a different sump between manual and power steering options? We have had power steering in our HT (out of a Brougham) for the last 15 years with all working well and all of a sudden we have been pulled up on the PS Ram touching the bottom of the sump. The only thing to have occurred to the car since it was put in is new engine mounts about 4 years ago which I would have thought if anything would have lifted the engine up?

Hi I am putting together a hx one tonner that I got in pieces and have reinstalled the heater box and am trying to work out what control cables go where on the control unit and the various arms on the heater box...just wondered if anyone had a picture/diagram
Thanks
