Thanks. Have found a complete dissy on Rock auto. That will fix allvthe melted stuff.

For my sins Im the owner of a 1990 Corvette. A while ago one of the oil pressure senders decided to leak oil everywhere. Turns out the car doesn't actually need it so the port got blocked off with a plug. All good so far. It leaked a bit of oil which being lazy I ignored, everything I own leaks a bit. The problem came the other night when my son had it out and the oil caught fire. Not too much damage, I was kind of hoping for carnage and an insurance pay out. The worst damage is the connector out of the distributor goes into a weather pack connector and the dissy side is well melted. Does any one here have experience/tools to replace this. It is a flat 4 pin job.

If it means your car is on the road sure. I cant make this trip, heading the other way with another club.

Sounds like a plan. Can meet at BP dairy flat and drive up the motorway to Walkworth the back down the old main road. Any one who doesnt like driving can take the shortcut using the Puhoi off ramp.

Cool to see another early Holden being saved. Are you going to add any strengthening for the 2JZ horsepower?

I used Driveshafts NZ in Church St Penrose. They were pretty helpful.

Las drive shaft I had made was $750, everything new except the gearbox yoke. 3 inch good for more revs and horse power than my 5 litre V8 will ever do.

For anyone who cares, here it is with the new wheels. Opinion is divided. I don't hate them and basically I got the lot for the price of the almost new back tires. Car does need some low.

Found some cheap 17 inch wheels. Best option for the money.

@Snoozin Here it is. Waiting for the ferry when I drove it up from Timaru

It has tires, just a bit bald.

I'll sell you this one.

I would go for those if I could find dome at a reasonable price. Trying not to spend too much on this car.

That is a good question. There are a couple of different offsets on the 16 inch wheels and some cars came with staggered sizes, 8 on the front and 9 on the back. I will check.

Option of last resort. I like the 16 inch aero wheels.
