ok im in again. will be leaving saturday this time to be safe
lunch wise im easy, whatever everyone else is doing, i just need to know by saturday lunch time so i can grab some snags on the way..
(VIC) Melbourne Cruise - Sun. 25 October
I don't mind either way, a bbq if the weather allows or the pub if it doesn't.
I just have to change my coil & test the boy further. Initial testing before the coil died was good, engine nice & strong, good compression, good pickup, only normal blow by but it was running a bit rich.
I hope the weather on Saturday is good enough to work on the boy!
Cheers

Hey Jay...
Don't push it, if it's not ready - Come in the EB & save it for the next run which is only about 6 weeks away...
I'd hate for anything untoward to happen on the cruise.
But it's your call.

An EF Falcon, but it too is stuffed

Fingers crossed, i'll be alright for the next one.

I swapped the coil today & took my boy for a drive, and aside getting the carb tuned & needing to re-adjust the rocker gaps later, i think it might be good to go.

I just did my rocker gaps tonight. Interesting, the plate on the body told me to set them all at 0.25mm so I did. Then I looked at my Haynes manual and it told me 0.20mm, then I looked at my Holden Scurry service manual and it told me 0.13mm all cold, so I don't know.
Anyway Tez we are going to meet you at Wandin so I have sent a PM with my number just in case. See you all in just over 12 hours, Karu.
