Plus getting a pallet, wrapping it all up.getting it onto a Ute taking it to a depot during work time.then organizing a scrapie to pick it up. just get the car shipped up.

not to mention hiring a car trailer etc

cant speak for b1500 but i did a disc conversion in my 77 b1600 to later b1600 discs and it was a bolt on conversion, think i had to use one of the late model ball joints

you just hash tagged, sounds like you deserve it

ke70 ones are far to sqaure to be going on a kp, id be going for some ke30 ones

yeah for sure, its amazing what a bad earth can achieve aye

so at this stage it seems like it was a bad engine earth, fuckin crazy

many thanks to ae25 your help was awesome dude

so this is tommorow, anyone need a lift?

alright will look into the above this weekend. and yeah i ran some injector cleaner through it about a month before this all started

been looking in 1g engine manual and under touruble shooting/engine hesitates/poor acceleration one of the possible causes is this

"emission control system problem when cold engine(1g-e engine only). Remedy check spark control system"

anyone got any ideas what theyre talkin about

no leaks in piping between afm and intake. afm moves nicely, im stumped

how can i check to see if cold start injector is leaking? isnt really to hard to start and idles fine. just bogs down when i take off and its only in cold temp. will check the other things. has no o2 sensor as its 1ge nz new. have a compression tester so will test that this weekend, cars done 160tho ks

from memory you use the auto gear box cross memeber and just flick it round 180

also check tension of alternator belt if its too loose itll explain why its making noise and not charging properly, if its good then yeah itll be alternator, had this problem recently

so ive tested my switch, getting 35 cold and 75 hot which is within spec(below 10 degrees 30-50 and above 25degrees 70-90). so next i guess is so test the injector

shall we lock in oamaru then karl?
