when i put my battery in my boot should i run the "sense" wire straight to the battery? so it sees proper battery voltage or whatever? could i leave the old sense wire still attached or disconnect it?? also is there a part number for the 2 pin alternator plug? would i even be able to get ...

is the tacho wire connected to any other wire on the coil? or does it go straight to the tacho with the only connection being at the coil? im reading 60 ohms of resistance between what i think is the tacho wire and the black/white dizzy wire.... cheers, rob edit: http://i50.tinypic.com/x3y22w.jpg D...

Used to fix voltage drop in old cars.
Well worth having.

One wire is 12 volts with the ignition ON, this drops to 0 volts whilst in the 'start' position. This originally went to the ballast resistor. The second wire is 12 volts when in the 'start' position. This wire went to the coil +ve (bypassing the ballast resistor). The third wire is the tacho wire. ...

Righto. Assuming you have one of these http://www.exchangeautoparts.com.au/RXA202.jpg and you want to use one of these instead http://www.exchangeautoparts.com.au/RXA200.jpg Then do this. Unplug the regulator, unbolt it and throw it away (not really, keep it as a momento!). Cut the 4-pin plug off at...

hmm... i know how to wire up an alternator... the main problem is with the regulator, how do we bypass the regulator and still have the ammeter in the dash work? IIRC the ammeter works by sensing the voltage drop across the main fusible link. So, what alternator and/or regulator should make SFA dif...

How many terminals on the new alt? Are they labelled (D+, L, S, etc)? You need to work out which wire goes to the 'ALT' or 'CHG' lamp on the dash. This can be done with a test light (with a bulb in it!!) by disconnecting the regulator (driver's strut tower), turning the ignition ON, earth one side o...

The simplest is to put a breaker bar on the bolt and wind the starter over. Make sure the breaker bar isn't going to smash anything important as its flying around!! I generally try to rest the breaker bar on the chassis and then crank, if that doesn't work (too tight), then arrange the breaker bar t...

ok cool i didnt think they came out with efi thinking of doing something like that to my other gb ive got Sigmas don't have EFI - the EFI is out of a TN Magna. Apart from being a wide block, the engine is "Magna spec" - pistons, crank, oil pump, head. Ive noticed that you havn't taken any...

The engine and gearbox are out of a GJ sedan (wide block and borg warner).

No mods to firewall, it just fits.
Radiator is probably the next challenge

A bit of paint in the engine bay http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Galant/09012010021.jpg http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Galant/09012010022.jpg Ran a new main fuel line - I will use the original for the return line. The engine went in after a bit of pushing and shoving :| http://home.exetel.c...

Well today it made it into the carport and work started
Removed guards and struts and started to clean it up a bit.

Bought a GA Galant rolling shell a few years ago, which has been sitting on the front lawn for a while :$ Has coil-over front struts, adjustable lower control arms and apparently has a Triton LSD stuffed under the rear. http://home.exetel.com.au/gaz914net/Pics/G_Galant/smgalant.jpg http://home.exete...

bummer man

Doesn't look too bad underneath - it will come up OK.

Keep up the updates

I've been a bit in the same boat the 8th month of 2008 the phone stoped ringing - No work so jan we got out of the factory and set up at home . I even had a few weeks on the dole ( first time since I started work in 1973 ) it took a while to get the 3 phase on - ( no 3 phase no fun ) anyway my mach...

Hi gaz - thats a good looking EFI set up Hi Cheater - Sure is, I had a top bloke do it for me (H) how have you been, are you still skiding in and out the witches hats Well I could make a whole thread out of what has happened in the last 18 months... :o Short version: Quit job as company was going b...

wow. how did you flair the rear gards or did you pay to get it dun??? ive got a ga im thinking of putting 13x7s on! They were like that when I got it! I haven't looked at it much as its been under a car cover in the front yard. Just got the engine & gearbox out of the Sigma, so some progress :)...

Dead set! i had only ever heard that Braided Lines were the Ducks Guts! Hence why they were so expensive and sort after... Is it only that brand that are no good? because they are a cheaper brand? Or are all Braided brake lines no good?? Braided lines improve pedal feel, so that is the advantage. I...

I was speaking to a mate of mine at Oran Park last weekend and he mentioned he had fitted the Maltech (or Brake Quip) braided lines. I told him that these lines are NOT suitable for motorsport use (and frankly I am not sure I would have them on my road car either). As it happens, a line arrived in t...

Unfortunately not. We don't have anything "off the shelf" for older cars.

GH Sigma brakes work OK due to the Galant being a lot lighter - unless you are giving them a really hard time

I've got a few GoPro video cameras (http://www.gopro.com) here we want to get rid of. They are the "old" model 3MP Helmet Heros. We will chuck in a suction cup mount, which makes it the same as a Motorsport Hero (we call it a Motorsports Hero Plus). The video from both is exactly the same ...

Hi, I'm Gaz My first drive of a car was in a '74 GB Galant- It was mum's car that she bought new. 1400 Saturn, drum brakes all 'round, vinyl seats and dealer fitted radio. After driving other cars, I decided a Galant was the go! I bought a GB rally car in need of some serious TLC, which was scrapped...

ok maybe a dumb question but would gj fit onto a gh? obviously they wouldnt be a straight bolt on but i love the look of a gj front so if was to put a complete gj front on my scorp how hard would that be to do ie is everything a straight bolt in replacement? GJ wagons are the same chassis as the GE...

I reckon it will bolt in OK, but as to whether to plugs/wiring are the same, not sure.

Probably just have to try it!

If the plugs look the same with the same colour wires in the same places, etc, then no reason why it shouldn't work.

cheers
