got a feeling there isnt alot of clutch left in the falcon, seems that its quite easy to push the pedal in compared to when i first got the car, and when i dump it, it used to get the wheels to spin with a little bit of throttle, or it would go to stall if i wasnt revving it , now i can just let the clutch out as fast as i want and the car will just pull away and i tryed to get a 2nd gear wheel spin while driving and it didnt spin, and i know when i first got the car going it used to spin the hell out of second if i got up it, so either im getting oil on the clutch or its worn out, it doesnt slip under load though so its still safe to drive.just finishing fixing this laser now, hopefully i can get away without using a new gasget, im using orange permatex stuff this time(thats what the old owner used and it worked a treat)

well the laser decided after a jump start today, and a quick play around that it would run, and idle, and then a tune of the carby, the idle went up, so i turned the idle back down, and now its running, still have an oil leak but ill just rub on some permatex like the previous owner did
 seemed to work wellBUT, it still wont let me back the timing down to 10 deg btdc, so im wondering is the coil fudged? because i also cant get a spark reading off the #1 lead unless i put the timing light right near the coil on the lead? i will go buy a new coil if someone can maybe prove my point....

well the laser is a lost cause, scrapping it and being done with it, shouldas known from the begining, if my brother is selling a car that still runs perfect, there is something else wrong with it
 anyways, so im getting sick of this leaky gasgets/ stuffed clutch slippage and was wondering, an au egas engine, has 10:1 compression i was told? true or s**t? wouldnt mind giving one a light overhaul, and swapping into my car when i do the clutch/firewall plate/ engine leaks like a siv anyway. if they are 10:1 compression i was thinking about getting an ef ticky head, and mild cam and fitting that so i have a little bit of everything to get me going fasta

If the gas heads have the notches for the injectors you wouldn't even need to swap

Just drop an xr cam in it and it will pick up. I've got one I may be persuaded to sell.

i dont go to repco here, too darn expensive,every time i get something priced its too expensive and i walk straight out, or if im looking for something on the shelf, i walk out empty handed, dont think the guy likes my attitude but their castrol magnatec is something like $15-20 more there than it is at supercheap, talk about mark up...

REPCO magnatex is only ten bucks more expensive than Supercheap Magnatex in NZ. But yeah, total agreement. When you want a bearing and it's half the price at BNT you start not going back...... Bought a frost plug the other week for a friends car, cost ten bucks, wasn't even full bronze, brass or gold.
