    clunky diff??

    hey, finally got the old VK running sweet (almost) it is a 202 black with auto. When driving sedately it appears to be all good and no problems. Auto shifts well etc and engine is great (Holley and exhaust). But if I load it up and back off quickly I get a clunk sound from diff area. There...

    My VK SS Group 3 replica (just a six! LOL)

    took her for a bit of a run after setting timing and holley, and she goes a lot better than I was expecting. I also replaced 4 of those crappy little rubber hooks on exhaust (only had 1 out of 4 holding it on ! LOL) and so much quiter now. Once she warms up it is a pleasure to drive. j

    Carby VK not starting...getting spark & fuel

    OK who do I send my address to for a free timing light?? LOL just kidding My car is now going!!! and it turned out to be a loose screw in carby...flooding the engine. It was the screw in mouth of holley that holds down the 'plunger' (or something like that) where the fuel actually squirts...

    Carby VK not starting...getting spark & fuel

    I thought timing too, but it was never changed when this car just went pop and stopped. Also I have tried moving the timing to all sorts of advances from one extreme to the other (and I mean extreme) and none still start car. I am getting holley checked out by mate as there seems to be a lot...

    Carby VK not starting...getting spark & fuel

    cant use timing light as it wont start to be able to check timing. But whether I have it set as it was, advanced or retarded it makes no diff and still wont start. if something has happened to the bottom cog of dizzy would it result in the rotor button moving freely? or should I pull whole...

    update; still not going. spoke to another mech and he is stumped too, but suggested I see how far spark is jumping from leed to earth, so tried that and getting strong blue spark jumping a good inch from end of leed. So I am starting to think I should get holley looked at again and pull her...

    Carby VK not starting...getting spark & fuel

    will sus out the holley as it is an older 320 holley and was just recond, but there was a pop type sound. Coil is exact copy of old one (mate in autobarn got correct one for me) I have been checking all leeds etc and resitance on them and seem good as they are new also (compared the...
