Differential Question
By RiceyJ 05/02/12@05:26 4680Can 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.
weber 34adm auto choke wire
By theDeputy 04/02/12@16:36Help needed
Im fitting a weber 34adm to a 202. I've had conflicting comments on wiring the auto choke and the run on solenoid. Is it 12v ignition to both or 6-8v to choke? And what is the best place to pick up the power, is the coil ok or a no no?
Thanks
Anthony

Sump Gasket change in 202
By terribleone 04/02/12@09:30HI Everyone,
I need to change the sump gasket on my 202 (WB van) with the engine in car. How difficult is the job? I am no mechanic, just a learner, but I want to give it a crack myself
I couldn't find any old posts about this probably semi common task, I know you have to jack up the motor, but if someone could really spell the process out for me, I'd appreciate it alot
Cheers,
Luke

Who has a weird TOOL.
By myeh 03/02/12@16:41 Shed LetsCruise 2560The posting earlier today asking about making panel beating tools got me thinking. What are the weird and wonderful tools people have made to get a job done on their old Holden?
I've shown a few of mine here.
The pic shows 4, starting top left is a drift that screws onto the subframe bolts on an old holden. This allows the bolt to be persuaded into place and easily work its way straight through the hole in the subframe and body.
Top right is a tool that allows me to remove and install the grille bars on the EH. It slips over the tangs on each bar and allows you to bend them.
Bottom left is a cheapy 1/2" AF spanner with a bend in it. This allowed me to get to the rear bumper bar outer mounting bolts without scratching the paint or the bar.

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?
