Seems a bit backwards doesn't it? But then it is french

This would be fucking cool to see done How would the certing of it go?

Any K series will bolt straight in place of any other K series engine. They have a massive 5 wire loom connecting to the engine, pretty sure all the water pipes are in the same places aswell. Pretty much pull old block out, drop new one in. Could be done in a day.

Nothing is happier than an Austin Healey

Shorten / tub the rear and fit those fat bastards under the guards. Dunno what to do with the front, maybe just narrow the front wheels or get new ones with matching centers.

Your title says 4WD spec, so howabout jack it up, mega mud flares, roll those big fuckoff rim / tyre combo, and fucking win like a champion.

Got Friday off work so will prob roll down then 3 days in Napier will be excellent

Hrmm...

This sounds like the most perfect plan ever Apparently he's gonna slide down a hill on a board for some reason. Although I heard the hill is gonna be epic stormy this weekend so slopes will be closed. Wholey shit this is tomorrow!

Chillibin full of brew, hose feeding in through the window. Sorted

Shit yeah 5up in a FC, I think we're gonna get to know each other very well..

I may be wearing a slightly too tight brown suit. So be warned

me and rot808 in the seven leaving aucks bout 2 ish hot ham sam is too. Yowzer! wanna lift still? Yeap will take a lift

Need to sus a ride now. Will supply brew of choice / road job

They run a very similar setup to the Crowns which seem to be more than happy with mega slam, so they shouldn't be too bad. Guess ya don't know 'till ya try it though

This is what the Corona rocks in the front Standard leaf on live axle in back. Easy enough to lower, shorter springs for the front + blocks / reset leaves in back. Sorted.

Any idea what the voltage at the coil is while cranking?

Will supply some 5I

May have to catch a ride with you 10-5 My own whip probably won't be rolling under its own steam in time

I left my avenger sitting for a few months. Slapped a battery in and fired up on 2nd compression. Was scary.

Another thing to check, is it running a ballast resistor, and does it have a crank bypass to the coil? If not, that sort of setup will help as it gives a big fuckoff spark on cranking.

A fully charged lead acid battery should be sitting around 13.8 V. Max charging volts should be 14.4 V.\ Basing it on that voltage I would consider the battery as sweet. Maybe measure the voltage across the battery while cranking, see what happens. Should not drop any more than 2 volts.

Stops the back end flying around. Leaf springs don't need them as the leaves locate the rear end. Coils need them otherwise the back axle will fly out side to side. Unless ya have some triangulated rear end setup or something, which will be harder to do.

Gas/Petrol knob?
