Thanks Stu,
You didn't spoil the surprise. The auto electrician, contacted Andrew late yesterday, & gave him the good news (about only good news coming out of Melbourne atm)
Andrew contacted me last night, & he is very happy & appreciative, to have his engine running, after many, many months.
I was only too happy to be part of a group, including yourself, who have helped Andrew eventually realise his vision.
This episode of the ignition issues, Andrew faced using an electronic dizzy as a simple trigger input to an aftermarket ECU, reminds me of a longer discussion, regarding this topic, we all had on here, 2-3 years ago, when Graeme (Big G), was sick of changing the points in his Girls Rolla.

Yeah I did, I actually spoke to him maybe a half hour after your "it's ok, it's running post", about 2min in he got a text from the sparky. On the good/bad news situation in Vic, I live on the Mornington Peninsula(about 8min from altezza's son) we aren't too badly hit with about 15 cases, but still classed as Melbourne metro so still in stage 3. Still able to work and with very little racing going on, everyone wanting a freshen up means I'm still quite busy.
It should be a pretty fun thing, its 10:1, torquey hydro regrind and standard port sized skimed head should create plenty of low end punch. From photos it appears to be a well built thing.

Dang you Banjo!!!! I might of spilled the beans/spoiled the surprise from the auto electrician or yourself!!
Hey, thanks a heap for your help, he's such a nice bloke and after the first 18months wait for nothing to be done electronics wise, he deserves to have back running.

I've used the "Redline" holden 6/small block v8 ones in the past. They are a fair bit bigger than needed but seal no problems.
I've got one I've made years ago on my 4k in my 11, you're welcome to it. If I end up putting the K back in for re-registering I'll just cut up another.

Thanks mate, I forget that samq has more than just parts on his website.

Something like these are what you need.

hi mate did you find any parts nubers ?
Sure did, sorry about the late reply.
the second ones are the ones to go for, in saying that they are a chrome faced top ring so will require a little more run in time.
Look up precision international and you should find them.

Be aware that there are only a few few brake options for the 1x family that won't turn it into a complete poor handling death trap. They are ke20,30,55 and 70 brakes.
I've been looking into strut changes for the last 12yrs and have found nothing even close other than ke20 struts and even they made my car sketchy at best.
-
Nice draglites BTW.
-
My ke11 had ke20 disks fitted by the previous owner so I can't comment on good/bad with the drums BUT I'm fairly sure that I have a ke20 disk setup at home sitting in my shed.

How modified is it?

Well if you are ready for a laugh.
There are those that fit car motors to water craft; then, there are those really crazy people that fit boat motors to cars !
I rest my case !

I prefer this one.

Hmmm where do i get one of those?
Still up in the air with the fuel system for my 11. IF I cut the tank for an "in-tank" it's nothing to add another hole for that.
I, fortunately have never had a tank that's needed any attention, soIcan't add anything to that sorry.

They look identical to my TTI ones but red not fluro green. Sydney tools don't sell "cheap" stuff, you should get a long life out of them.

The Holley Sniper system, is expensive, by Australian standards, but is relatively simple, to implement.
It's also not much better ECU tech wise than an early 90's dos operated haltech either. Not that, it is essentially a bad thing, as long as the price replicates that. Look at megasquirt for instance.
You all missed the boat on my 4g/k motor CAS I've just sold.

Sweet mate, not long now.

Got any of those sweet, sweet updates?

Just checking in to see if everybody is enjoying their free 30 day trial of communism?

Yep.... that's all it's about 😏
Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Although another full bottom end rebuild could correct my balance! ... and give me the opportunity to throw in the other new bits. Last resort.
I've been fighting similar issues with my new motor for years(geez that sounds weird). If you are still getting dramas I've got a good/cheap MLS option coming when this chinavirus deal is over, I've also "copper gasket" sprayed composite gaskets to make em seal.

Keeping fluids in is a good thing.
Don't forget I've still got that block and crank if needed.

Should be 4x114.3 mate.

He is stoked and hanging out to get it in the bush and here I am contemplating on which state or country I'll move to once borders and jobs are going.
