Hi all, Trying to figure out what (if any) is the correct Air Cleaner Decal for a 1974 HQ Wagon, 202 6 Cyl. Any help appreciated. Cheers

The long and arduous process has started... Im piecing back together my fathers HR. Currently a stripped out shell with box's and Box's of parts...

I test fitted the front Clip over the weekend.. before painting and have a question Re-Alignment. If someone is able to depart some experience...

The outside dogleg at the bottom to the sill.. is there a spacer or any rubber suppose to go in between these 2 parts.. as even with the original bolts done up I was left with a gap of around 1mm on both sides

Any input would be much appreciated

Matt

Hi Guys,

I want to swap the engine in my HJ ute from a 173 to a 253, but keep the 3 speed coloumn shift manual.
I want to keep it all as original as possible so don't want to move crossmembers etc.
What needs to change (driveline wise) ?
I was told that there is a V8 "version" of the gearbox and then everything else will marry up.

Does that sound right ?

Thanks,
Pete

It's an interesting read: http://chinacarhisto...
Something different, and years ahead of it's time.

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what model these seats are out of? They're too wide by a fair bit for my HT wagon so would like to find out what they're from.

Eh
4 wheel drums
Vy 44 booster
Touch the peddle try’s to throw you through the windscreen
Why is it so?

I found this under the rear seat of my FE amongst the dirt and fuses

Giday guys I've been trying to get my old 173 running abit smoother off idle. I have noticed that there is no vacuum advance. I pulled the hose off the dizzy while engine running and there is no vacuum at the dizzy. The port is not blocked either as I can blow back through line to carby. Any ideas?
Cheers

Ive noticed we get a fair amount of questions, general posts, and even criticism from the above member (Yes i know this is actually lots of different folks)
Occasionally, we all post as "Holden Fan" usually this is an unintended oversight when we are logged out.
Now i'm happy to share knowledge and advice, (even if this isn't really appreciated or acknowledged) but I do wish people would just bite the bullet, sign up and put a name to their post. "Holden fan" is often the first to criticise. Its too easy to be a troll when you are a nameless nobody.

Dads old HT i found in a gully, was stolen approx 15 years ago. Originally a 161 but now running a 173, Rust in every single panel, currently restoring it now using rare spares panels and personal knowledge of sheet metal work. The C panel is pop riveted on and was pranged up the ass at one stage. Currently restoring it
