Ok so the car runs and there are no more thread problems, my problem now is that I have 50 compression on piston 1, any ideas on what this could be? rings?

Flairs

I think my brother uses a S13 alloy one in his car, why not get the standard one recored?

you need a bracket mate, i have a similar holley carb, i could get a pic if you wanted, or you could come take a look at it and make a copy

Well it is now registered! Although I drilled out the hole for the tap too big, so I have a guy booked in on Monday to come and fix it, so the head is off again but its all good as I managed to get rego today which was the last day before blueslips!

Don't do the Commodore spring in the front, just do it properly the first time

I get so frustrated by questions like this, how is this a mechanical question! And on top of that start with the search function, or go on ebay, carsales, look in the for sale section etc

Great, the manifold stud threaded the head as I was tightening it on. Just bought another tap set for the 10x1.25 stud, and a 8.73mm steel drill bit. The car starts though! I have a couple hours after uni tonight to work on it and somehow have to get a pink slip and register it on Saturday, I'm pushing the deadline.

Wouldn't the standard suspension be the best for the street?

Yep its all good, I took it back to them and they fixed it, luckily they were open on Sunday!

ive got a 195 on a 8.5in rim, but i think that size is hard to find in a 14, what are you using the car for?

Isn't he after a 4AGZE setup though?

good luck finding a wrecked 70 5spd

have you tried toyota?

if you are going to go to all the trouble of a ca you might as well go sr

kind of a big job to convert to manual as well, you need a pedal box and the rest of it

How important is it to have 3 locating pins in the flywheel? I just got it back from the machinist and they got one of the locating pins wrong and now only 1 lines up correctly.

Ok thanks heaps for that! I only have a 1/4 and 17/64 drill bits here, I guess its off to the hardware store.

Ok so coventry fasteners arent the distributors for helicoil anymore. A place called Hoopers Bearings stock recoil, so I bought the correct kit. Now I am looking at my situation and am trying to figure out what to do, what size drill bit do i use to drill out the old threads and do i then connect the tap to the drill? and use that to create the new threads? After a quick google i found that i would need a 6.8mm drill bit for a 8x1.25 bolt (which is what the rocker post bolts are). Can someone confirm this?

I hope you realise that if they do make this beams car we still wont be able to afford it and will only buy it if its 600 bucks and comes with a pair of longchamps and rego

Are you up for all the other work involved?

haha thats what i was thinking, that is more an alignment issue

I think you have misunderstood me, its all good ill get helicoils, anyone know where to get them from sydney?

ex bathurst with that interior?

just buy a datsun and don't wreck two cars
