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

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know what a stock red 202 in a VB commodore will rev to. My aftermarket tacho is saying i am reving it to 5grand but i didnt think a stock 202 would rev that high. I think I need to get my tacho calibrated.
Just wanted to check what a stock 202 should rev to but first.

If anyone can help it would be great.

Thanks

Hi guys,I just had a set of VN style heads modified for my stroked 383 in the SLR 5000. After 9 months of rebuilding everthing else I got a bit excited and threw them on with the manifolds etc and put the motor in.Time came to adjust the solid lifters and I realised, I had not filed away in the brain, which was the inlet / exhaust valves.I have looked at the manifold and extractors and presume the No 1 cylinder front is a exhaust vale and so on,and No 2 front is a inlet etc.I am happy to be made look dumb,just want it to be right.

Any help appreciated,Thanks.

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

HI 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

Hi Guys, have a question for anyone who has swapped the original carbie on a HR to a 350 holley with a cain manifold.
I have the powerglide box, what happens with the kickdown rod that goes from the original carbie, there is no place on the manifold / carbie for this to go now? Is there another setup for this?
Thanks

Gaday, I'm looking at putting my 202 on straight gas, if it's going to be beneficial. It currently is dual fuel, I was told when I brought the car that the head was already set up for LPG and ULP. Which I'm thinking is true judging how it's still running so well as I run gas all the time except the first and last km of each day. This is my everyday car. What I'm thinking of doing. Vk manifold and throttle body. Got a quote from ultimate gas conversions currum downs for 400 bux for a mixer to suit the vk gear, instillation and tune up. This would not be gas injection but just going straight through the vk manifold. Has anyone done this before? Is it going to be much different then the standard varijet and manifold? If anyone has a info or better ideas I would be keen on hearing them. Cheers

Hello,
Can anyone recommend an engine tuner with dyno that
specializes in V-8 carburettor type engines?
Preferable around the west side of Brisbane?
Thanks

I have just cc'd my cylinder heads and they aren't the size advertised (58cc instead of 64cc). My static compression is now 11.3:1 and dynamic is 8.6:1. Will 98 octane be good enough? Can anyone give me some input or should I just get chambers taken out to 64cc.
Note: I have imported these heads from the states and it'd be a sh@t fight to return them.
Another note: I have contacted seller and waiting for a reply.

I have a 179 HP red motor in my EJ ute I'm rebuilding.
She's running a little rough.
I might need to get the head overhauled.
How much should I be paying?

Hey guys

Does anyone who knows a bit about Holleys know what this carb is? Its sitting on top of the 308 that came with my pano. All I know is its a Holley and got 4 sucka's...
Cheers

Hi there.

I am putting a 202 in my hr to replace the 179hp. I have 2 rebuilt engine choices to go with. Both only standard & was wondering is the engine number any thing to go by?
(It has an aussie 4 speed & 3.36 banjo)
1st is a HL779**
2nd is a QL840***

My searches found the the

HL is LH/LX ADR27 - LX/UC ADR27A High compression manual

QL is HQ-HZ & LX High compression

Is one a better option & what does the ADR27 & ADR27A mean??

Any help appreciated

Anthony
