Re: My GC Hardtop project
Looking good Jason. I doubt you will get a reliable method of current limiting the battery for the starter... I mean at 12V its a bit difficult to distinguish 100amp to 300amp. Better off making sure the situation can't arise in the first place. If you paranoid about going through a hole in the chas...

Re: Is my dizzy a tooth out? (pic)
As above, have you got a timing light? If not, go somewhere that has one. To answer your first question, does it look out? yeah, it does look like it "may" be a tooth out, but you really need to confirm that for your self... If the rotor is no where near no1 when at TDC then move the dizzy...

Re: 2.0 - 2.6 parts interchangeable
:think: Assuming both are astron 1, First you need to know if the 2.6 is a wide or narrow bell housing type. Preferrably you want the narrow type (meaning it started life as an auto), so you can use the smaller fly wheel from the 2lt. The only other thing I would consider putting in the 2.6 is the c...

Re: Sigma Engine Coolant Temp Guage Unit/Sensor
I know in the galant when you start it up from cold, its temp will climb, peak over where it normally sits and then drop back a little bit and that's about where it sits. As far as I'm aware, this is just waiting for the manifold/thermostat etc getting up to temperature, then when it finally opens t...

Yeah I guess if the interior is all original and looking good, then would kinda spoil it having an after market gauge in there. Have you fitted the new sensor? what was the outcome? sometimes it'll sneak up to half and from the angle I'm sitting at it looks as though it goes a fraction above half, b...

Re: Sigma Engine Coolant Temp Guage Unit/Sensor
As Dave said, more than likely going to be a gauge problem (or any of the connections between them). Not sure about our model sigma, but the GE/GH had a Voltage regulator that is 'pushed' against the circuit board of the gauge cluster, causing odd problems with the temperature & fuel gauge. To b...

Re: help fitting carbie
The cap is keyed so it will only go on one way; same with the rotor. As Dave said above, also open the oil cap and see if you can rock 'both' of the rockers for cylinder 1 - if you can this means it is ready to fire, if you cant, that means cylinder 4 is, so rotate the crank another 360 degrees.

Hey all, Wondering how others that have converted their Auto Galants to manual have put the clutch cable in 'neatly' through the firewall? Looking at the factory type adjuster on the firewall, doesn't appear to be removable, as in allowing it to be used on an auto body for the cable. Easy enough to ...

Re: Brake vaccum problem?
Yeah fair call, was guessing something like that (most of us are in that category...).
-but on face value couldn't help my self lol.
also check if there is any fluid leaking from the seal where the actuator pushes on the master cylinder. Will need to wiggle it back from the booster a bit to see that.

Redline make an adapter plate to bolt on to the astron manifold that will take the weber from the falcon (which is a dual throat carb), and I'm fairly sure the weber from the escort would go on there too. Even if the redline adapter doesn't bolt straight on, shouldn't take much to make your own adap...
