Hello

After I have fixed up and painted both my clutch mechanism (m20 push-type) and extractors (unknown tri-Y's), I found that you cannot have both installed at the same time...

I was making a real progress, everything was coming together nicely but then... tap... eh? ...what this? tap tap ...what if I... tap... bugger...

It's a m20 push type clutch with a bulky lever system that mounts on the side of the bellhousing, and where the stationary part of clutch cable is held it overlaps the extractors

Should I change the clutch mechanism or should I change/modify the extractors?

If I changed to a pull-type clutch would I have the same problem? Would I have to change the bellhousing? I haven't seen one for a while and can't remember how the cable is mounted.

Was concerned how much current was being drawn from my alternator with both the electric fan and high beam lights (2 x 150watt spots on the inside pair).

Whole shooting match drew 51 amps at about 3000 rpm, so I think that a 100 amp alternator will be on my shopping list..

This bad boy meter which is a DC Clip on Amp meter just clips around the cable from the alternator to the battery and records the maximum current.

T you can add this piccy to the "pedia if you want.

Can anyone tell me the oil capacity of the power steering unit after a overhaul or empty start.

Maybe someone can clear something up for me;
I recently bought an HQ Premier for its dash and seats for my monaro and originally i thought someone had put HQ Coupe gear in it at some stage during its life but the more i take it apart the more i realise it is all original that i can tell.

I'm in New Zealand and the car was OZ assembled with the info as follows;

Model 81269 QR
Body 26474-S
Trim 1839-18U
Paint 568-13890
