Hi,

I'm looking to find out what difference a 3.25 diff will do to my FC.  I'm told its out of a Salsbury so I guess the first thing is will it fit and second is what difference will it make.  What sort of $$ would you pay for one of these.

The next question is I've seen some things about VB VC diffs but how about  VL

Any clues.

Slim,

Do you have  a Steering wheel in reasonable condition

Hi,

I've been thinking about conversions my self.  Castle Main Rod shop has a number of setups which may be of use.

Hope this helps. Cant say Ive seen any 6ltr conversion kits but the do have other sorts available.

Thanks for the invite Col,

Unfortunately I cant make it on the Thursdays, as I have other commitments.  I would like to know the outcomes though.  If it is on another night please let me know

May be we need to add this to the rants and ravesLots of controvercy.  It begs the question why is there no clear standards, why is there a forum like this and no consistancy between clubs.  Yes plenty of contravercy to start this all up but at least it would make it easy to go forward ?

I'm in the ACT.  Come Dec 07 I will be back in Perth.  If each has diffrent standards what hope do I have.  I might as well keep my car on full rego and be done with it assuming I can afford the additional rego.

Hi,

I'm looking at geting my car across for historical rego.

car modification include HR front end, and Power booster no other modifications.

would this meet club rego requirments

I've added a red motor fuel pump to my Grey.  I had to get a couple more bolts as the grey pump has about another 10mm "spacer" then the red does.  hence the bolts in the grey where to long.

I know one in Queenbane NSW.  You might ask Ken"mcl1959" he is down your way.

cheers

Thanks Ken,

Had a couple from my club come around.  We found some wiring which had been soldered, and as a result the main wire was rather thick, and the solder did not grip the main wire rather then formed a ring around it. We believe the corosion between the wire and the solder formed a barrier which stopped the circuit.

Cleaned it all up and away she goes. I know have a spare regulator.  All I say is when you solder ensure that you get the main wire hot enought to get solder into it

I've traced through the wires, fuses, and got to the voltage regulator.

unplugged it placed it back in and electrics came back.

Went to start the car and all went dead.  removed the clips from regulator re55 bosch and the electics came back.

any Ideas.

thought I had it.

I removed the voltage regulator all came good.  brought a new one put it in connected it and it was as dead as a door nail once again

Check this out,

Amazing detail

Hi,

I put my new carby on the car took it for a drive and whilst driving I lost all power, any Ideas.

symptoms are no power from battery.  Wipers which are directly connected to battery work.
All fuses seem to be ok, but i get nothing when i go to turn the ignition over

Looking good, just the thing for a flash FC

Thanks Ken,

I found out today through precision automotive in ACT that the 23-105D is the original carby for FX-FC, the second is the next iteration for the FC - FB 23 3000 H.  Good to see that I have orriginal parts  The gent who does these up has been doing it for over 50 years, and I cant wait to see the job.  Even re-coloured the carby.

I'd love to get his Carby manual.

Hi,

I've put my carby in for rebuild, spindals, kit, bushes etc.  I was advised the carby I put in was original 23-105d, but the one which I have just pulled of the fC is a 23 3000H.  

if the 23-105D is original, what is the 23-3000h which was on the manifold.

does any one have info

as it goes from the left hand side of the gear box it moves along the top of the right hand falk of the Lh subframe and up along the fire wall, there is a clip on the fire wall which is near the throttle rods. At this point the cable goes under those rods and up to the hole in the fire wall where the choke cable comes from.

Hi,

just looked it follows the choke cable and once out the fire wall goes down under the accelerator connections on the wall under the body and into the gear box

hope this helps

Thanks Ken will get one of you, please Pm me.

Thanks Ret,

Clapped out is defined by the speedo needle not moving however the odometer still works.

Will give the Yellow a go.
