Bloddy hell. Other stuff I need to think of (facepalm).

My other 304 here has a new IAC and TPS on it. So it whacked that on and seams to have stopped. https://photos.app.goo.gl/GBvK5ASR2dQqjVrv8 That’s the thermo fan you can hear now and not the IAC. Although every minute or so the engine makes a rattle. Wondering if there’s enough oil in it...

Yeah I think I’ll go with that. Even lengthening it slightly didn’t really change it and this is warmed up. https://photos.app.goo.gl/yR76HYbyoYadaCHJ9

Or go all the way down under the front bar?? https://photos.app.goo.gl/QMjaAwgaUzGDTdHS8

Thanks EYY. Closest I can come up with is this. BUT I am using a spare MAF as a joiner in the middle and the air con compressor is right below it and lines need to go to the fire wall. Makes that cruise control wire awkward too. https://photos.app.goo.gl/mJyGrhFEdbN2iPRr5 Or maybe even mounted...

Wouldn't it be 1.5x the diameter of the TB and = 4.5" long?? That'd make a lot more sense or you'd need one of those 4wd pipe running up the A pillar;) Although you may be right. Found this on another forum. Here is what the GM crate engine control system instructions have to say about it...

And the pipe gets longer.... You mean the direction (as per the flow arrows) or it has to be up a certain way aswell?

Godammit... Why aren't cars easier! Think I'll jam it through the bay wall to the wheel well then, At least I'll have cold air induction then. Just have to work out how to avoid getting water in it o_O

I assume I can't get a MAFless tune VATS removed chip off the shelf either :(

You mean this one???? https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/nes138-room-for-improvement.225896/page-3 Or do you have time to go over 40 pages of stuff?? http://forum.fefcholden.club/index.php?topic=21578.760 Haven't updated in quite some time and haven't done much as I am moving round...

You mean MAF sensor? It's too close? Goddammit, I shoe horned the dam thing in as it was.

got her in finally and warmed up. The IAC hisses something fierce. This video was taken when it was warm and it was still hissing (or is it sucking?) slightly. I did some quick research and didn’t come up with much. Engine bay is not finished ;) https://photos.app.goo.gl/iGLgvE3yhAviK3WX7

Fixed it!! This engine is in the car that is my Avatar, an FC 1959 - the throttle cable was slightly pulled AND the vacuum pipes on the back and front were off. Runs well now although i can hear a knock now :mad: Funny as car enthusiasts we are always chasing our tails.

I did! Anyone experienced an engine doing this before?

Screw that im here for the Storm!! Seriously though I’ve got no idea how it over revved. As soon as it kicked over it went to a million RPM in a second before I Sh@t my undies. I’ll have to look for vacuum tomorrow.

I have the covers off and can clearly see the throttle cable at idle. I can stand in front of the car and start it with a remote ;)

hmm yeah actually the one that goes from the front of the inlet manifold to the fuel regulator on the back of the drivers side fuel rail. Surely that wouldn't make it scream its head off straight away and max out the revs immediately? I've gone to Melbourne for the footy now so I can't check...

Nope. The car is remote start and I was in the engine bay. Throttle was in idle.

Threw a new Dizzy cap on VT 304 and started it and as soon as I started it, it went F#$%ing psycho. Just max revved straight up and I turned it off - What the hell went wrong??? I marked out the leads top right started at number one and worked it around the clock.

Yeah I saw that I need to trim them, that's why I think its a crank totally out job. The black neo seal looks like it slides in really well. i think it's by promaster. Similar to a gearbox seal i guess. I used loctite 515 around it. https://photos.app.goo.gl/onmA5y4KSzLeido87

I’ve seen that before. Thanks. I grabbed a rope seal from bursons 460284F 7x9x150mm and it looks way to big. Has silver crap all over it too. https://photos.app.goo.gl/5YnMgf19s6hdwBwq5 Here’s the neoprene one I have https://photos.app.goo.gl/oFU1qbqXBf3D72JKA I think the rope is a whole...

These are clearer photos. I don’t know what direction they go in in. https://photos.app.goo.gl/GY48Z5Cu4Dcd9ney5 https://photos.app.goo.gl/Mb9whRNhaBvd73vq7 Otherwise I’ll just go grab a rope seal. I used this one and it chewed the **** out If it. https://photos.app.goo.gl/UJkVTvKZNY823PSb9

I seam to have a different seal.

as per the title there is a taper on the neoprene seal I have. It’s Kelpro and want to know which way it faces. https://photos.app.goo.gl/4Nz6dhNAQkkCuULs6

sweet so no tune difference?

Anyone know the differences between these two 4L60E gearbox's?

Thanks but looking for the colour of the stock ones

Anyone sell this off the shelf?

VT ecu HSV tune with VATS turned off

I have a 304. What gearbox from VT can bolt up to it with no mods? A V6? A V6 SC? Gen III?

I remembered when I saw the dam bolt on the ground :(

cool Put it all back together and forgot the bloody bolt to the cam sprocket Doh Once again a redo

Ok. Here it is. Someone please confirm correct. Timing cover went back on. https://photos.app.goo.gl/AA5JRRt7NSHMx7jk7

goddammit!! Redo

515 it is. Making sure this is correct? https://photos.app.goo.gl/cVFjPRynu1Ju7sUy8

Red RTV Gasket maker or loctite 515? That’s what I have on hand

Thanks EYY https://photos.app.goo.gl/cVFjPRynu1Ju7sUy8 Keen to get this thing back together. Stupid question- for the cover and water pump, is the paper style gasket good enough on its own? Or do I need a sealer as well? I’ve got loftier 515 here

Well F$&k me. That’s a Gregory’s book too. Can someone post a photo of what it’s meant to be?

https://photos.app.goo.gl/hrbnvmHUE4tjn1eH9 Looks like it’s on the money now. Although there wasn’t a second ‘bright link’

https://photos.app.goo.gl/t6erdVdx84t51rZC8 From the Haynes manual I thought the dots had to be pointing toward each other?
