vk streeter struggling at night

[dazvk]

Hi Daz here, i have a huge problem with my v8 vk calais at night. it seems to stall everytime i use the blinker in conjunction with brakes, unless i throw it into neutral before i turn the blinker on. it also seems to idle rough when the power windows are used. it runs on duel fuel and seems to be having these problems when running on gas. it is also running a mallory unilite electronic ignition system with a supposed 30/70 type timing.

Im also having problems with the famous vk electronic dash. It flutters the speed on idling, and then dissapears completely once the car is going. The revs work how ever, which makes driving to the speed limit interesting for sure. It will be appreciated if somebody could help me help my treasure. Missing driving my car at night

Man to me its sound like you don't have enough amperage maybe your battery not holdin' enough charge or the alternator not supplying enough.
You might have to bite the bullet and take it to a sparky

Where are you? If you are in Melbourne, you could come by my place and I could check it out for you. You seem to have multiple problems and it could be anything unless I'd look at it. I have a similar setup to you.

I would say either a bad earth, battery failing, or alternator not keeping enough charge, you may need around a 120amp alternator to supply enough power with all accessories running.
