Gonna get a photo up here of the mesh /cone/flange thingamebob as soon as i can get the young fella away from his girlfriend. Should be very interesting to get some feed-back. This part definitely came from carby/manifold position. Car was completely original. Still has original thermostat & is still sitting on original Olympic Air Ride tyers ( still hold air) with a top-up every few months.& brake & clutch tins. It was on the road for 1 year back in 1995.took out original motor & run another grey motor i had out of fe ute. ( hot with twin stromies ) Swapped back to ute & sold. So van has original motor back in. Only non original i had 2 do was exhaust & rear shocks. Also put the original red interior in ute when i sold it. DUMBASS. Ute looked good though, with my own mix of a SKY BLUE with the red interior. Oh...Tasman mags to. Wish istill had that car. Still got the Tasman mags though Bonus. By the way, between u & me, van might b 4 sale 4 $1000000 obo. Back to topic question, can u tell motor is 132 or 138 by engine numbers? Thanks

But here is what i really want 2 know: long time ago removed , now getting assembled again, here's my question : At carby & manifold,there is a flange /cone shaped part with fine metal gauze in it (does anyone know this part) Does it go between carby & bakerlite spacer or bakerlite spacer & manifold? This is out of an an molested &totally original motor. This part isn't mentioned or shown in original holdenFE workshop manual. I gather it must b 2 atomize petrol b 4 it hits the manifold? Have talked 2 a few "knowledgeable "guys & they look at me like i'm on drugs. KEN: going by ur knowledge on this forum, any ideas?

Bit late 2 add 2 this but all oil bath aircleaners are stamed inside to what oil level is. HOLDEN WORKSHOP MANUAL states SAE 50 Engine or SAE90 straight mineral oil. Just remember that these cars were mainly driven on dirt roads. These days on bitumen , u could run sump oil if u had to. NO BIGGIE.

Thanks to RET for all that trivia on the FE's. and to custonFC ....what tha..is that custom van got HD front panels (all modified of course)& is the rear HG ass end? Very...very unusual, but a lot of skill invoved into that creation. also looks like a black sheperd hiding in the background of that photo with dogs in car.Got one of them myself.&a white sheperd.&a bullterrier.&2 CHI's (missus dogs). Gotta get the young fella to put some flicks up of my van, i'm not that computer literate to get them up so when we i pull it out of back shed i will post them here.its coverd up by THINGS& DUST. (last rego'd in 1995)off the road ever since but kept clean fuelled up &running. Starting new project...Fe ute shell on one tonner chassis (probably 5 year project) Hay ,whose in a hurry.may just end up drag car depending on compliancing here in QLD

A big block in any ol' holden surely is a massve undertaking. Can only imagine the man hours that had to go into that. So no crash box in that one. But as for JB's photo,that is just a piece of art.hours & hours+days,weeks or even years into that beast. Everything about that is PERFECT.What a weapon. I'm sure we would all luv 2 c more images of that one. Thanx JB. I think that makes #13 FE VANS. BRINGUMON.
