...sunuvabiatch :@ . No trial - straight to execution. On the 'bright' side you didn't come out to find you car was missing.Hope you reported it to the cops. Once in a while they actually do something...

almost every car on the street got broken into or damaged but even after most of them went to the police, they still said there was nothing they could do until they got any evidence to give them a lead... good one cheers wa police

It's an occupational hazard - you get caught messing with someone's ride, once in a while you get a beatin'.

the engines only done 86000 kms since it was reconditioned and the gear box is around two years old, i picked it up for $300 which is pretty good. the whole thing is covered in bog on almost every panel and its been sprayed gold with a rattle can a large number of times.

Looks same as mine dude :) so I'd say yes.

Does it have "GALANT" printed on the top? Also, is it a LYNX manifold?

As for carbs that fit... I guess so, this is what's needed for at least the dhla40 dellortos (that's what I'm running). Then the 45s aren't much different. Dellorto carbs and webbers are very close, so I'd say yep. Most if not all sidedraft carbs will fit :)

Nah stuff all mate! Did mine in less than half hour. That's from running with the 32/36 webber. To running with the twins.

You will need to cut your top rad hose, and block the water port at the rear of the block.

Also I forgot to ad!! I have race linkages on mine which means they pull from the top. Standard they pull from underneath, needing a bracket made up on the engine mount and an extra long throttle cable.

If you're buying the carbs, get a race linkage kit. They're much easier to work with, and are much more responsive! :thumpsup:
