Thanks, I’ll check again on the original Alternator. I guess the larger Alt will be fine to ensure add on in future. I’ll ensure existing cable will suit the load. If not I’ll have to run new cable I guess to prevent issues. 100amp should be plenty as well I guess

Hey All, I have a Vk 1984 with 355 motor and wanting to get a new black alternator (Aeroflow) to match engine theme. There is two to choose from that I see 100 Amp or 140. What would suit my set up better? Car has no air conditioning yet - but will in future Battery is in boot (current...

I thought they were - I’ll try again

I will try and upload a picture soon. Thanks

Hey All, I’ve just noticed that My wipers are rubbing on the back of my bonnet scoop (HDT). Is this normal? Easy fix solutions? Anyone else had this issue and fixed it. The bonnet alignment is good (not high). TIA.

Yeah I have removed the bloody tacho - got the cluster back again with rpm fixed (another $200 gone - ouch) and it seems to be fine. Fingers crossed it stays fine. The repair guy said it’s likely the monster tacho that was piggy backed onto the original was more than likely the culprit...

Hey All, I have just had original dash cluster repaired and all was working well with an additional monster tacho in line with the dash tacho yesterday. Today the dash tacho has stopped working. My questions are Can I run two tachos? (Previous owner set up) Is it better to just run the...

Ah okay thanks

Good Evening All I’ve just upgraded my brake booster and master from original VK Berlina to a VT setup. The issues I have is the reservoir. The VT master reservoir is tilted poorly - is there another reservoir that will fit on that will fix this? Also I have a new master cylinder for the...

Thank you brother

Hey All, I’m just trying to work out the wiring for my vn sender unit to marry up with my VK. Has anyone done this before? Can you tell me what goes where? I just want to ensure it’s connected correctly. Any help will be greatly appreciated- I have recently just had Attspeed gauges fix the...

No, or at least I think not. Unless previous owner put stock discs on rear? How can I tell the difference brother?

Hey All, I have a vk with four disc brakes on it now with original v8 booster and master, which isn’t braking well for me What and where can I get rear brakes/hubs/rotars to suit vt brake upgrade. I’m looking at getting vt master & booster with front hub adapters to suit vk to vt. I’m having...

It has a apparently a vn pump inside and on the outside of the tank is a Holley blue fuel pump Cheers - thanks I’ll plan to do this thanks

This is the top of the filler

Yes it does have a return fitting (tho not connected by the looks of it) Yeah sweet - plan to do the pull out Monday. Rare spares have a sender unit for a VN in stock on hold for me if needed

A picture of the filler neck and hose @gtrboyy

Hopefully this is a better picture for you @gtrboyy thank you

Sorry it’s not the best picture

Thanks for your detailed reply. I’ll get a picture for you in the morning - thank you so much cheers

Legend thank you!! I’ll check this and drain it today. Cheers

Hey All, I’ve recently bought a VK and I am currently fixing and working out what is what from the past owner. The original dash fuel gauge has recently stopped working and I need to fix it. I was told it had been changed to a VN fuel tank - but not entirely sure. What’s the best way...

Yeah, sorry I’ll explain. The air just blows down the bottom - when I selected vents or dash it just doesn’t change the flow or the direction I’m selecting.

Hey legends, Where would I start to fix airflow issues. I have a 84 VK Berlina that has all the internals and plastic pipes and fan works, however the directionals of it all seems to be missing. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks again, any advice or help is appreciated.

Hey All, Just looking at the brakes I have inherited on my 84 VK. It appears I have on the rear WB callipers (Girlock stamped & Holden) It appears I have VR/VS callipers on the front It appears I have a VR 15/16 PBR MASTER CYLINDER on it as well. What can I do to gain better braking? I...

I might try a new indicator stalk & indicator switch mechanism & see how that goes

Thanks, Sorry what is iirc? The original wheel has been off for a long time, I’ve just replaced another momo wheel - but I also changed honey pot & column as well.

Hey All, Hope all is well. 84 Berlina sedan V8 I have replaced original wheel with a momo wheel. I’ve noticed the indicator stalk is setting the horn off while I’m turning left only. I like that fact that I’m warning ppl my baby is moving left / but seriously it’s a bit too much lol I’ve...

Sorry, it’s a dual plane manifold not single. My bad.

Yeah it is - the car I feel is great for me - just a Cruzer but trying to sort it out. I appreciate your views tho, cheers

It appears like a black soot. I was of the belief it was fuel due to the strong scent of fuel when running.

Single plane Stally is 2500 - revs sit about 2000rpm when warmed up Thanks

She is also dumping a lot of fuel (I think it’s running very rich) out of the twin hookers exhaust that are dumped before diff.

Yeah thanks. All I got was 355 with VN heads, a cam (unknown specs) demon carby harrop inlet manifold pacemaker extractors. Turbo 700 with 345.1 diff ratio (VL diff) it has no knocks and motor runs well just not when it’s cold lol I have cleaned carby new oils and all. Your spot on - two...

Yes. I have already just watch one that did a full installation and tune. Very helpful thank you. Once the timing is sorted and adjustments are made it should be sweet. Cheers

Thanks for that mate. It has a demon carby on it.

Yeah I have a friend who is a mechanic and said he’ll check the timing. I know it’s running rich at the moment. I have him to do a good check over it all. I know Cams can make it run more lumpy (I just was concerned on how much it does move). Thanks for your insight, cheers

Hey All, Really stoked and it’s all done! Speedo cable purchased and installed - didn’t need to change the drive gear for speed drive cog - Speedo looks spot on after several tests. Really happy and thanks to all for your advice. No bends in cable and works smooth and well. Cheers to all

Evening All, Go easy on me - I’m learning - this is my first 355 carby motor & we are getting to know each other - slowly. I just wanted to confirm if I needed to investigate more into my motor 355/cam/carby that is shaking a fair bit on Start up when cold. Structurally it appears fine...
