If you have trouble finding a place to dump the LPG tank. I had one in an XE wagon I wrecked, it was half full. I adapted the copper pipe to an empty 9kg BBQ cylinder and decanted the liquid into it then burnt it off in my BBQ, took a good few hours. the remenants I slowly vented off into the middle of my yard on a windy day. Filled the empty tank with water and cut big holes in it so it was no longer considered a gas cylinder. then the scrappy took it with the wreck. Another one I had from my XE sedan same as the 80L one you have I use as a reserve air tank with my compressor for air tools.
Great to see you working on these venerable I6's.. Solid motors with lots of low-end torque. Great motors!! Glad things are going well with you, Peter.. Looking forward to more with those 6s. Peace and love my friend!!!
The valve on the right is the fill valve Peter and would only have gas in the full line. The valve on the left is the service valve that should not open without 12v applied. Tank could still have contents. If you power up service valve make sure no sparks (battery) nearby on connect or disconnect!
Hi Pete, Been a while since I commented but watched every vid as usual! 😂 Great to see the ZK getting a proper donk, will. Be mint (get it) when she’s done! XC front looks amazing complete!!!! I have another XD 351- FMX was running before tear down, now cranks won’t start, no spark from brand new dizzy or old one either, spark at coil?? Just need some advice mate or a good old school ford auto elec to diagnose even? Cheers mate, keep up. The great vids!! 👍👌👍👌🏆🏆
Hello mate, thanks for the comments! Couple of things... check for power at the coil. If the wiring to the coil is stock it should read 7V with ignition on and up to 12V while cranking. Most aftermarket distributors use 12V, so if the resistor wire is still fitted within the stock loom it won't work. Also, if you changed the coil for a 12V one, it won't be much good with the resistor wire in situ.
Thanks mate! I will check as suggested but think it will be on a truck down to Ringwood shortly! Thank you for the reply and Auto Elec recommendation! Will give them a buz! 👍👍👍
Make sure while ur engine is out check for tower cracks i remember the days when i did my time on cabs they always cracked specially the XFs around near the upper control arm mounts
Hi Peter. The gas tank has gas in it still by the gas gauge. On the filler tube that you removed theirs an non return valve on the tank under the four bolts/ screws. You can crack them open to let the gas out but it will take ages and the smell will be bad. You might have to use your engine hoist to lift out that tank. It will weigh a ton. That gas filter and shut off valve on the chassis next to the left side on the transmission, can I grab it off you for my XF ute? I am converting it to run on gas cos the motor pings on 98 petrol and gas is a higher octane. PM me. Thanks. Ps I have a ZL with a 302C with a C4 and the tail shaft from the STD car goes straight in. The only way I can run a Cleveland in my ZL is to run on gas only and i don't have to run cats.
The LC GTR Toranas came with the 161 ci or 2600 engine with cast iron headers, WW stromberg, mild cam etc, when I worked for a Holden Dealer in Perth the Last of the LC Toranas did get the 173 or 2850 engines with the WW strombergs etc but that was only because GM Holden ran out of 161’s near the transition to the LJ’s and that’s why the HG Holdens also got 202’s in the last of them too, when the LJ GTR came out they just got the bog stick 202’sin them, as an aside the Holden reds also came out in 138 ci the same as the later grey engines as in the basic “2250” six in the LC and LJ Toranas
Also the Red engines were basically a US Chevrolet design as they are near identical apart from ancillaries and if you look at the Chevy 2 or Nova sixes of 194ci they’re a near exact copy, I remember we had an Australian delivered Chevy 2 at a Dealer I worked for and their 194 ci sixes was the same as if you lifted the hood on an EH Holden ( yes they did sell them new here from 1963) the EH turned out to be so popular that in a short time Holden didn’t offer the Chevy 2 as they were too expensive compared to the EH
Absolutely and thanks for that! I knew about the 138 red and the 2600S but forgot when I made the video... as stated, I should have used fact sheets haha, thanks again.
Fit the Webber card from the 4.1 ford engine to the 202 and do away with the Stromberg. Meant to be a nice upgrade, plenty of guys replace the Variajet on the Blue motors and say it’s a good thing. Cheers
Yes they do fit Mark. Only problem is you will need an engineer to sign off on it. I was going to hit Peter up about selling the engine if he didn’t want it, but you asked first. Cheers Daz
@@deadheadshed Hi Daz. Thanks for letting me know. You grab it if Pete is happy. My car (XL wagon) is way down in the project list anyway whereas you are right into yours. I have also thought about fitting a 289 V8 as an alternative. It has the 170 in it now which is a runner. Cheers Mark
I'm not a mechanic so I wouldn't dare argue with you on your disdain for LPG. Though a classic car should never have LPG. That said, the ZK wasn't "classic" when the gas was installed. In any case, I've had my 380 on dual fuel for many years because the damn thing sucks petrol like a demon and I've saved a fortune with the amount of mileage I do. I remember on the fuel consumption sticker on the windscreen when new said 8.9 litres, yeah right, more like 13-14 per 100 no matter how smoothly I tried to drive it. So it had to go duel fuel. Anyway, just my two cents.

As always Pete you bring a smile to my face. In an otherwise gloomy world I find myself in at the moment, you bring me some light…..thanks
Nice progress on the ZK.
Interested in the plenum repair.
Cheers.
Enjoying your vids Peter, great to see you getting stuck into your cars again & sharing on UA-cam
Cheers 👍
More to come mate, but back at work this Monday...

Awesome job mate 👍
Brilliant, thanks mate.
Got a real soft spot for the old Holden 6 !!

Glad things are going well with you, Peter.. Looking forward to more with those 6s.
Peace and love my friend!!!
Thanks buddy, there will be quite a bit more on the red one... I actually have two I need to test; the red six and the FE V8, cheers and take care.
Great updates as usual. 👌😎
Unlucky with the converter woes pulling that 250! It happens to the best of us.
Seeing the word "Squeaky" my mind went straight to my old XA Falcon Hardtop front suspension lol.
Back in the late '70's, my Dad had an XA and the saying was "XA = leaks and squeaks".
I've got an XF Fairmont Ghia that will be getting a similar conversion so will be watching on with interest.
It's a nice job to do and very satisfying... I love this kind of work and there will be a few more videos on the way, cheers.

Gas in the FILL line…
Thanks so much... I was kinda bricking it messing with the gas, but it's all sorted now and your advice is spot on, cheers and thanks.
VC also got a dual barrel carb.
VK got the black motor. Electronic spark control for carb model and option of electronic injection to replace 4.2 V8
Spot on and thanks for reminding me!
The lc torana also had a 138 red motor available
My old LJ did, too. The old 2250
I know, I forgot about the 2250 haha

I’d be using the 34adm carb off the Ford on the 202, they’re a great upgrade.

Peter u will need to find EH rear crossmember for the EJ.
Hi Peter, are you selling the 4.1?
Yeah probably, a guy Mark asked first, so I should check with him... just haven't got around to doing anything about it yet, cheers.
I had this crazy thought what about putting that Ford 6 cylinder with auto into the Holden,
NOOOO! That's just wrong. 😮
In an EJ, it wouldn’t fit without extensive mods, that would kill the car!😳
Fit the Webber card from the 4.1 ford engine to the 202 and do away with the Stromberg. Meant to be a nice upgrade, plenty of guys replace the Variajet on the Blue motors and say it’s a good thing. Cheers
Yes the Varijets are pretty awful, never thought about using it on the 202, I was thinking of the Sigma, but no doubt you're right, cheers.
Hi Peter. I have a 1963 Falcon XL wagon. Would that ZK 6 fit in that car? Maybe we can do a deal? Please let me know. 👍
I don't think so, but I'm unsure... You can fit 221's with the shorter water pump, but I'm not even sure if the early 250's fit...
Yes they do fit Mark. Only problem is you will need an engineer to sign off on it.
I was going to hit Peter up about selling the engine if he didn’t want it, but you asked first.
Cheers Daz
@@PeterAndersons Fair enough. Thanks Peter. I am still interested in those Galaxie wheels too. 👍

@@markbehr88 if Peter does decide to sell it, it would be going into an Xd wagon, not the Xm.
Hi Peter looks like you set up an out door lift at the other house. It would make your life a lot easier, rather than crawling under the cars.
P,S, I’m in Croydon so a local auto elec to yourself would be ideal? 👍👍

It should be a non return valve. Undoing it should be ok.

So it had to go duel fuel. Anyway, just my two cents.
Usually if i pull a gas tank out with gas in it i advertise it for free on market place and someone always takes it away.
That lpg kit should be sellable just try sell it as a whole kit.
The mixer was already gone when I got the car, so it's just parts, cheers.
You forgot 138 (2250)
I know, how dumb am I??
Chocolate one is better 😂
