Surely you could use your cable set up.Just need a cable bell housing and pull type clutch fork. I believe that would be right but I could be wrong as I have never done it. VLS had a hydraulic clutch and up to VS they are cable?

Yeah one is off master cylinder. I have one of those under the bonnet with nothing plugged in.Car runs so i presume its for something an SLE had in it?

When I put a Sports dash in my 6cyl VH the wires for Oil pressure and amps were there. Make sure the are connected right and I had to change sender unit. No t piece involved. Just a wire.

Dont go by the books. Been down that road.measure a bit of string. My supercheap is only 1.5 kms away and had to exchage it 3 times till I got the right belt.

Date code is a number(day of month)then a letter(A to L month of year) followed by a number(year in decade)If its a blue engine that number would be 0,1,2,3 or 4 or 5,6,7 a black motor. 8 or 9 later VN. I have a VS block and cannot find 304 or 4.9 stamped anywhere on the block which means its...

I run 55/100 watt bulbs in my VH and have wired in a relay to high beam. What a difference. Turned night into day.

It would need a mod plate in QLD and P platers cant drive a mod plated car up here. It maybe the same in your State.

I installed a VS tank in my VH using the VS straps. Sender units are different but wires up ok and they have a return line and internal fuel pump that I left in the tank as it forms part of the fuel intake.I left the fuel pump disconnected from a power source.

Have fun.Have done all mine.Door stays open now.

Yeah get a VH or VK est dizzie and bypass the computer.Grab rotor button and see if goes side to side.A tiny bit is ok but if more the teeth a gone on the dizzie shaft.Check all connections . The wiring harness were it plugs together behind the engine can at times be dodgy.All these things have...

I am running a 600 holley on my 253 as i coundnt get the Quadrajet to work. Going to a 3.08 10 diff soon. That should make take off a lot better.

I changed the booster and master cylinder from a 6Cyl to one from a V8. Bolted up no probs, Had to as I am now running rear disc brakes.

So True, As what Darren says. XV2 should be on the compliance plate.

When I Registered MY 81 Vh they coundnt find the VIN, It was full of paint on the Radiator support Panel right were it should be.

I have 3 VH commodores here 81 model has compliance plates and VIN stamped on Radiator panel,82 model has compliance plates beside brake booster with VIN on radiator panel, 83 has everything on passenger strut tower.So if my 82 VH has VIN on radiator support panel then that is were yours should...

Not sure on Kframe but I believe they are the same. Would have to change the whole front end and diff housing and brakes to make it legal.I know its all different to a 6cyl. Need someone on here who has done it to comment.

Just read on Dept Transport QLD site.Exactly what Darren says. Turbo is 1100kg by 3 meaning you can only turbo a 202.But that may be with out a Mod Plate.

I did that to my VH when it had a 202. You need power steering rack, 6 V8 same. If you are using a powersteering pump from passenger side under aircon then you have to move the aircon to drivers side beside the head. My trouble was that the 4 bolts that support the bracket werent there so i...

Check there is no kink in your fuel line around the fuel filter and tank. I had a prob today running for 1km then stopping. The fuel line under the filter was kinked. Also check that there is no crack in your fuel filter ,line in and out.You can bypass the computer by using a VH dizzie.

No vacuum on VB to VH. All cable operated.If I leave the bottom vent open air come through from outside and my floor gets a bit warm from now running a V8.Try insulating your floor and check that the heater is actually properly turned off.

Should be fine.

If the Chassis number punched into your body doesnt match the plate that says Month, year and seating capacity then it has been re tagged which could mean anything.Get the stamped number checked to see if it has been stolen.

I did that to my VH when I put a 253 in.Used all the gear out of my VH doner car.If the disc brake assembly is from a V8 Midway VK and earlier SALISBURY you will find that the tailshaft is longer and wont bolt up to a 6 cyl .The flange on the V8 diff is bigger than the 6 cyl flange.You will need...

HA HA you are on facebook. All sorted HEY. Use the 90 litre tank with the 90 litre sender unit and block off the return line retaining the fuel pump but not connecting it. Cheers

Yeah its not the same

I have NO idea. I took mine off and fitted a 32/36 weber and never looked back. Mechanical secondaries and was very fuel efficient.Still have it just not using it. Running a 253 with a 600 holley now.

Trying to find unmolested cars is almost impossible.Would love a Blue or red over silver Sle 253 or 308 and keep as it was when it came out of the factory.

The wagon sender will be fine.2.6 ratio diff is normally found behind 308 SLES. Would be a good cruiser with that diff.Sender units for V8s are rare and expensive and the VS 6cyl has a return line but no low fuel clip.1 fuel in and 1 fuel out.1 sender unit and 1 fuel pump wire.I have left the...

Google market value. Sit down when you do as you will be shocked.

The wagon fuel sender will be fine if its not rusted out like mine.I dont care how fast my vh goes. As long as it still turns heads is what i like . Looks and sound.I believe your wagon tank WONT fit.I have a VH 185 pack that I am going to restore in the future and it had factory cruise control...

I had a doner car and took everything that I needed.The doner car had a factory twin system so I used it.Also have extractors so it sounds SWEET. Running a 600 holley and doesnt it go now.

Was it a 253 and not a 308? 308s were rare in Vhs as mainly Group 3 brocks and SLES had them.I have a 2.78 disc brake 253 diff housing here in Brisbane.Needs an axle out of a disc brake setup 202 or 253.253s still sound good.I mean the front struts that the springs are attached to.If you are...

I just did the same conversion from a VH SL 253 into A Vh Vacationer 202.K frame is the same but you will need the V8 strut Towers.I know the diff housing has different shockie points so maybe you can weld some new ones onto the wagon diff. 253s and 202s share the same salisbury diff but the...

Aircon on Blue motor is on drivers side,Filler cap on passenger side.Thats how it came out of the factory,VH BLUE 253. PLEASE BELIEVE ME. When I say pasengers side it means the side the passenger sits.Standing in front of the car looking towards the windscreen its on your RIGHT.Yes 2 pcvs, Came...

No filler hole is towards the front on the passenger side on blue motors. 2 rocker cover vents. Drivers side at front,Passenger side at rear.

No the oil filler is on the passenger side. Thats were it is on my blue 253. To much clutter on the drivers side.
