If you haven't grown up by 50, you don't have to.

Hey Dean, that grille looks bloody awful - how could you do such a thing??
I suggest you get rid of it ASAP!
(I'll PM you my address...)

Well, it's off the road again  . I went for a drive a few weeks ago & something has let go in the new motor. In the words of Rebel off Running on empty "She sounds like she has a wobble in the bottom end" . I have picked up another motor for it & am now in the process of sourcing bits & pieces to get it running again. Probably why I have been a bit quiet lately...sort of lost interest, even thought about selling the lot at one stage. New year & new outlook & I want a holiday in Tassie . Stay tuned, Dean. |

Hi All, Put the new motor into the car a couple of weeks ago, fired it up & noticed water pissing out of the front welsh plug. Out it came again  . All of the welsh plugs have now been replaced!! Glad that I did as the ones behind the sideplate were paper thin. Hoping to get it back in on the weekend... going to call the old girl Christine...lol |

Hi John, yeah I did see the sonic manifolds. I wanted to try this idea after I made an similar adapter to fit 186 carby onto a twin manifold. Before the car shit itself it was working pretty good (after sorting jets).

Might be time to build your own if these fail.
