  1. Damon @ Rockyauto or Simon @ palmside would be the two blokes Id trust with the carb
  2. Weirdly just saw one on my lunch break the other day; https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/737405721698954/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Aad380dd9-862e-41a0-9713-dd4d3a85a1e6
  3. Do these have build/id plates on the LF lower windscreen area ontop of the edge of the dash where it meets the screen? (like on Chevys?) Thats the actual american Vin rather than the NZ alloy type one.
  4. https://www.andysautosport.com/learning_center/vehicle_specs/f-body_vehicle_identification_number_(vin)_decoding/ For the full break down. I quite enjoy doing this on the stuff I've owned
  5. From what it looks like, you're pointing at the "kick panel" I usually have a look on yearone/summit/ogpi etc and try decipher what the yanks call each part - heaps of things seemingly have well different names to what we'd call them. If you need any steel parts, I cant recommend Retroautoparts thoroughly enough - you can pick up the Parts or he'll bring them in, generally for less than the cost of the Parts online overseas. Must be some good F-Body groups on facebook to join too for advice? Thats a big 10-4 Snowman lol
  6. @browndog would be your man on here Hogan. Weirdly I just found this one on Marketplace and sent it to him on PM https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/718723943565868/ (Also in chch)
  7. ^ In your size there really isn't bugger all selection Semi Slick https://yhiautomotive.co.nz/Product/1049469/NANKANG-AR1 https://www.dtm.co.nz/tyre-range/tyre/WEBT-NXSUR4G https://www.dtm.co.nz/tyre-range/tyre/WEBT-NXNFSPR (not released/in stock yet) Little more road based for casual enthusiast https://yhiautomotive.co.nz/Product/1050366/NANKANG-CR-S Street https://yhiautomotive.co.nz/Product/1049480/NANKANG-N729
  8. ^ I ran the soda crystals in the Gemini back when we used to live in the same street Bart. I think I ran them in the car for a week, then dumped bottom hose, rinse/repeat and It ran clear. The Gloria just had 45min of back flushing when I got that (whilst running, dumping straight into the farmers paddock) - and it'd been parked for 15 odd years or whatever it was. Then it ran clean, however ultimately the Water pump impellor was rusted away & radiator still needed rodding out. I would just about put the shitty one back in and run it up to temp/cycle a few times with above concoctions then dump/back flush?
  9. If it helps any, you have a couple of manifold choices - theres a RWD Camaro/Firebird Manifold that has a forward facing throttle body. There's also a high rise FWD Plenum, but the upper plenum bolts to the lower manifold and can be flipped to rwd, from a Buick Lesabre Both are being used now by Stockcar guys over here since injection is now allowed..
  10. Not much help but down Whitehall st I noticed a Capri under a tarp.. Street Viewed it for you, #3 Friendly knock might be able to allow you some templates to be made Also, Chris Leigh from Kiwi Auto died, however he retired from running the place Afaik, and his son Blair has been running it for a couple of years now. Maybe just shut down for Christmas/New Years?
  11. Why not remove it and fit a -An fitting in place? Or have a piece of tube spun to replicate?
  12. ^ Simon at Palmside is a good bugger to try. Failing that I would talk to Shane @ Ms Coombes Ltd, they have a fair amount tucked away last time he sorted something for me, he also has a Escort in the build and may have something himself...
  13. I'd recommend trying this guy; https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063472031079 Darren Gypsy, he sells lots of Gemini parts - the piazza's are based on the GM/T platform
  14. In Chch - Simon @ Palmside
  15. John @ Clutch Rebuilds in Chch has always helped me with unusual stuff. Can reline and make puk clutches too
  16. Lucky you got through that, what a shit situation and that amount of water is pretty impressive/scary +1 good to see you back on here/updates, life definitely gets in the way sometimes
  17. Ill have some 245/40's on 9.5 wheels in the next week...
  18. Nankang AR1 are Actually made in 245/40r15 also; 205/50r15 586mm Diameter 225/45r15 583mm Diameter 245/40r15 577mm Diameter Personally I like the rears you're running shape... Other option would be Nexen SUR4G (but nil stock in NZ) , There is some sizes listed in the about to be released Nexen N Fera Sport R, but none in stock in NZ.. I'd wager the AR1 would be the better option for you however
  19. Curious about the horizontal hiem joint on the diff, rather than vertical. Probably not so much of a problem with the somewhat small amount of travel Im sure you have, but you're limited with the movement within the hiem outer, rather than rotating smoothly around its axis
  20. Had a Aurora AFX Slot car the same as this, with lights even. And I thought the Yanks nicknamed them "The Screaming Chicken" lol
  21. Just a thought, there's a local guy down here that makes billet flywheels for stockcars etc, using the original flex plate ring gears. When I had my last one done, I sent to Engine Builders in wellington that said it had the least amount of balancing required of all they'd dealt with till that point? No reason why he couldn't spin one to suit your needs? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/ford/engines/listing/4154357973
  22. Why not run a die nut up the long ones, and roll pin - I assume you'll balance the flywheel and pressure plate anyway?
  23. Never seen that type of flare tool before, what brand/how much?
  24. 195-45r15 would be your best bet, from memory 1/2" illegally stretched, but barely noticeable. Then you at least keep the same footprint, but lower profile sidewall again.
