A question of alternators.... (and fusible links)

Vehicle: 1990 "L" series (in the very popular at the time white). Engine etc: EA82, Carb, no power steering. A little while back, the L started to have the dash lights flicker at start up. This was followed shortly later by the battery not holding enough charge to run the car. At this point, some si...

on the balance pipe would be the best place, closer to the middle join, that way you would get a reading from all the cylinders (more so than on one side) Make sense? :) TOONGA But is there sufficient flow through the balance pipe for at to be accurate?

I think any of the four speed dual range boxes (ea81) will have a 3.7 or 3.9 ratio - that is what the earlier five speed DR boxes (ea82) have.

Can you give us a hint what this project is? Sounds intruiging.

In winter the alpine way is closed west of threadbo, which means the drive from Jindabyne to Wodonga becomes about 400kms (rather then 250ish). Having said that, going from Canberra to Wodonga, how much road you see will come down to how much time/petrol money you have. If you go all the way down to...

I had just loaded my 17 month old into the child seat in the left rear when my best mate said "that doesn't look real good...." I said something similar to NachaLuva... It is all good now though.

Seriously though, this post has all the hall marks of chain email spam.... Can't see a motive though.
