Yep, those are the ones. Some parts number Googling shows the design dates back to the 30's, still perhaps used in the 60's. The intent of the...
Looking good :) Does that connection to the lifter gallery have a baffle behind it to prevent the carb from siphoning up oil splash? Cheers, Harv
If you put a small allen-key in the end of a CD-ignition plug wire, you can test to see if you have ignition after breaking down in the middle of...
I had a similar conversation with the gentleman who flow-benches Hilborn pumps for me. He is a well-seasoned gentleman who has been running...
Ah - I see what you mean about the bolts. When I first started out, I only had one type of vehicle (a couple of 60's Holdens, like the avatar)....
Interesting design - those axle clamping hoops must be pretty tight to stop them slipping when the spring winds up. Cheers, Harv
I've now listed the item on evilBay. If anyone who has posted above wants it, please PM me and I'll take it off eBay and make you a smoking deal...
Thanks gents. Agree on the oiling part - drain alky, pickle with gas, pull off and oil anything that moves. Cheers, Harv

Man that looks like fun. Can I ask a dumbass question please Carl? My FED is getting closer to completion, and in between works I've been...
Thats a repro gauge. The original ones say Deth Wobbel. Cheers, Harv
Aussie cars from the state of Victoria.
Could it be a machine part, rather than a tool? Cheers, Harv
There is nothing wrong with the Kiwi Number 8 Solution, nor are there many things that cannot be repaired with Number 8 fencing wire. Cheers, Harv
Same thing here. It's a commonly held view that it is illegal, but there is nothing I can find in the regulations that say I cannot tow with a...
It's surprising how many projects start out from a handful of parts like that, and a dream. Cheers, Harv
Sunday morning, a long way from a cornfield in Franksville, and those two videos have me grinning like a Cheshire cat. That lumpy idle and spurts...
My FED uses the recessed Allen head type to hold the bodywork on. I use a t-handle wrench too. Only about 20 buttons in the FED. I used four...
The Aussie version of a P-38 has a spoon on one end, and is called a Field Ration Eating Device (FRED). It is more commonly known as a !@#$%^&...
I had similar thinking with my FED. I can handle the Powerglide in the cockpit with me, as it has a Stroud blanket. The casing has to breathe...
cool… haven’t seen a setup like that before. cheers, Harv
[ATTACH] My memory is shot. I didn’t see these in a Holden tool catalogue… I saw them in my pliers (dykes) drawer. Look to be wire strippers....
Thanks gents - much appreciated. Cheers, Harv
I bought this angle drive a long time ago, with plans to cut it down to suit a Holden grey motor. Lots of measuring shows there is not enough meat...
The 202 engine was the standard 1970's/1980's go-fast motor for Holden fans. The came out from the factory at 200 ponies at the crank... with (a...
I'm about 3/4 of the way through building a HAMB-friendly FED, with a shortie PowerGlide. My Easter project is an O/T turbo upgrade for my son's...
Not all Slide-and-Glides can be push started - most cannot, only those with a rear pump. From what I have been taught, you need to get them...
Amen. I haven't worked on an early Holden yet that hasn't been jacked up from under the sump instead of from under the crossmember. Surprising how...
The HAMB is seriously funny, seriously sarcastic, and seriously interested in your project. Be patient with our responses... half the time the...
Honest car, no Bondo. Paint needs buffing. Cheers, Harv
