cleaning up i found 5x utilux clamps one big and a few smaller.. was gonna throw them out but thought some nutjob restorer might want them.. i think some guy on here ages ago wanted some but anyway.

not asking any money just come pick them up. thanks

Ok so my car was running rough, and then it became more and more difficult to start, someone suggested I check the points, they were pitted so I replaced the contacts and the gap is sweet.

Now I realize the car only starts when I put some petrol in the carb and then it turns over no problem, car runs fine once going but needs gas in the carb to start. Forgive my ignorance I'm trying to learn as much about the old girl as I go.

Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

Doing a bit of work on my sons HQ ute. It has a Red 202 with manual throttle linkage (not cable) with a standard Stromberg carbie. I noticed that between the pedal and the carbie there is only one spring return (at the carbie). Years ago on karts we used to have two, one at the pedal and at the carbie.

Is this normal that a single frail little spring returns the pedal and linkages - or are we missing one somewhere at the pedal ?

Thanks for the help

Matt

Ok so i looked at my salisbury and it was leaking from pinion and axles and the 4 pin cone type lsd "brand new" units available from some unnamed mob in vic was nothing but a let down. But i did a lot of research and tried looking into the yanky 10 bolt for ideas or anything else with the same dimensions to no avail. So i thought id just chuck the single spinner in. So dismantled it, got bearing kits and seals and tried researching how much preload etc and how to have the mechanic set it up but no info to be found.

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

Can anyone tell me what the differnce, if any, between a commodore Salisbury 10 bolt diff and HQ era Salisbury 10 bolt diff is? Are the crown and pinion interchangable between the two? I have been on Holdenpaedia and there is some good info on there but cannot find the answer yet.

Anyone chasing a Fuelmiser HY-353 carby kit still in unopened packet? Possibly for a 350 holley? NOS and dated 03/12/96. Chasing $30 plus postage. Also a HQ owner's manual - good condition although some wear on outer cover and some finger marks inside. Dated Sep 1971 (camera just died so no photo but should be able to do tomorrow). $40 plus postage. email me at hktgparts at bigpond dot com. If no one interested to ebay they go. Cheers.

I was thinking 1972 (year of her birth) HQ ute or night welding course at TAFE. She wants a trip to the Melbourne cup this year which isn't all bad as obviously I get to partake as well. What are your thoughts?

Leroy I was looking through your trim pics & noticed that you dont have a pic for 19G trim inserts, it so happens I have a HQ kingswood sedan with 19G trim, well whats left of it anyway, here is a pic of the front bench all thats left, standard Kingswood stitching pattern, but the material is a copper & black checker pattern, which would've looked very nice when new, I have included a pic of a section of the material that has come unstiched & show it's original colours. up to you if you want to use it..
