No probs buddy.. Family first :)

Yes it's strange how freight from the other side of the world can get here faster than within Aus?? I remember my Mum always saying that when mail was transported via camels East to West (or vise versa) they would guarantee it would be delivered within 7 days.. Australia Post today is still unable to give you that guarantee unless you pay extra :D

thanks wrxer Im just waiting on a carby kit and then the reconstruction begins

and that ute on ebay would be wonderful but I would need a tanker to follow me

(I wonder if I should start the motor during a lightning storm and scream IT LIVES IT LIVES)

I did send an email asking where it was and sure enough 15 minutes later I had a reply saying it had shipped on the 6th and just as I was taking my son to daycare the courier blocked the driveway and sure enough my package was there

Awesome, the site 'sjr lift' in the US do this to ej22 manifolds too, top idea, saves meddling with the fuel system as well.

Can you post some pics of the dizzy setup? quite interested, i think i'll eventually go EJ and if this is a big trouble saver, i might just do it.

Are you rejetting the 350? cos it's a pretty big carby for a 2.2!
