    The Holden: What American car is it possibly comparable to, if at all?

    • @bruceaskin9645
      @bruceaskin9645 4 дні тому

      GM , Holden was originally a General motors assembly plant in Australia. In 1948 They started producing their own cars , beginning with the FX and then the FJ. They started with a 138 6 cylinder, known as the grey motor. This was most likely a Chev copy, was bullet proof , tough as. In 1964 they changed to the red motor, starting with 149, in the EH. In later years the range varied to 161, 179 , 186 , 202 and also a 138 and 173 in the LC and LJ Torana models. The first V8 models came about in 68 and were Chevy , 307 and 350. We produce our first V8 about 1970 , with the 253 and the 308 , which is what I have in my van. My van is a WB produced in 1980, this shape began in 1972 HQ model. The WB is my second favorite Holden . My favorite is the LC and LJ Torana's. Torana is an indegenous word meaning to fly, and fly they did , and absolute fun machine. Ford and Chrysler also made cars in Australia, Ford falcon and Chrysler valiant. Australia produced a lot of exceptional and unique cars, and the testing ground was Bathurst. A 4 mile public road circut, that wet up over a mountain ( Mount Panorama ) and had a mile long straight. Started with a 500 mile race , then became 1000 kilometers. Stay tuned and I will find a video of a decent car show with a range of Australian cars and also some Bathurst footage. There is nothing like Bathurst anywhere in the world and I have attended at least a dozen times.

      I did manage to fix the problem and made another video. My biggest issue at the moment is searching through boxes to find parts, I pulled it apart like 4 years ago. And every part needs something done to it before it can be re installed.

    I ask you , can you re think it ? I do believe you have a great idea and would look great being pulled by a buggy or a trike . My thought was go the pop tent rout by reinforcing the sides to be able to accommodate 2 electric pistons and extend the deck lid 3/4 of the whole build with a lip seal to keep the weather out . As you have the lid completely open , you could have a 3 sided weather proof canvas tent pop out .

    • @bruceaskin9645
      @bruceaskin9645 12 днів тому

      Great Idea, but sounds like a lot of expense, and not really suit the purpose we need it for. When the two boys and I go camping / traveling, we already have our tents, airbeds, fire equiptment etc. The issue is being able to fit them in the bug with us. To be honest this is already way more work than I anticipated, I am just about over it and have other jobs that urgently need attention. My WB panel van, will be getting an attachable tent and set up as an overnight camper, for the wife and I. Thats just one of the jobs in the que.

    I’ve just replaced the bush in my 253. It seems the roll pin for the cam sprocket needs a lot of force. How did you go getting it in?

    • @bruceaskin9645
      @bruceaskin9645 13 днів тому

      Yes I was also concerned about how tight the pin was in the fitted bush. It appears that the bush compresses when its fitted. Was also concerned about hitting the pin so hard , because its hardened and brittle. It didnt appear to put any extra strain on turning the engine. Have yet to start it, been waiting on finances for other parts. I did use a lot of thick oil on the pin. Have all the parts now to fire it up, but everything that attaches, requires cleaning and painting , also need to re connect all the wiring , so instruments are working for the start up. Should be happening this week, so stay tuned , I will definately make a video of the start up.

    Nice one Bruce. My dad always used to strip things down for things. I think I will try my hand at any small electrical items going out the door like a Hoover we need to bin. I’ll tell hubby I’m doing a “Bruce” 😀 The plate rack thingy with the wheels on I would take the wheels off they are very useful. We have some long thin cupboards in the kitchen, hard to see what tins you have, so bought this plastic box on wheels to pull things out easily. I will show you what it’s like, maybe you could make something for the Mrs. I’m sure she will be very happy. Happy New Year to you and yours Bruce, God bless and stay safe.

    Did some chasing of no spark and replaced the distributor with my mates one only to find I had a ignition switch issue which was the last part removed.Just for your info there doesn’t seem to be any rotor buttons for Bosch Dissy any more unless you have anymore info of there to get as repco said no longer available

    • @bruceaskin9645
      @bruceaskin9645 19 днів тому

      Mine has a pertronix. rotor button is part of the pertronix . It did fail after about 15 years but was easily and cheaply replaced. The stupid part was that it was failing sporadically and I put the new one in the glove box and went on a 3000 klm trip. It finally gave up at midnight in the pissing down rain in the forrest north east of Tenterfield, mid winter. That was fun , under the bonnet with a torch and a rain coat.

    I recently bought an electronic torque wrench and the best thing is you don’t need to worry about backing off the tension before putting it away and you don’t need to always change the torque because it will display where you are at as you put on the pressure. Selecting from nm to ft-lbs etc is a simple press of a button. Best thing I’ve bought in a while. Other wrench failed with the adjuster at the bottom not winding in properly, friggin last time I buy a kinchrome wrench.
