  1. Also, if you add a simple on/off switch (a pull out switch would be ideal) across the left/right turn signal switch, this would act as an emergency flashing circuit. But you must have the turn signal switch on at the same time.
  2. DOH! I missed this years Toowoomba swap meet. I'll give you $51 for it...:)
  3. Try your local Jaycar electronics store, will be less than 10 bucks. I use to manager one, it looks familiar.
  4. Hey mate, is there anything you don't have? lol We should swap places. You spend more time in Brisbane and I need all the parts you have in your shed....:) I'm still building this shed, so I might get in contact in April, hopefully.
  5. Thanks gents for the informative input, much appreciated. I was hoping someone with an parts/interchange book would chime in, thanks. Makes sense that a 65 would be very similar, if not the same as my 62.
  6. The only thing that is no good on this beautiful Pontiac is the VIC plates. Surely the fog lights will be useful in the Gippsland winter? They look awesome by the way.
  7. A 72? I dream of the day that the Mopar gods give me a 72. I only have lowly 62...:( Is there are difference between 72 and my 62? Do you mean the complete front end axle assembly from left wheel to the right wheel? Or, just the stub axles, hubs with brake parts, wheels? I prefer not to do this type of alteration, but my car is a 'working car', so gets used in hail, rain or shine.
  8. Thanks Keiser. That is what I am curious to know, are the axles the same or different dimensions? I am sure someone has compare them.
  9. Does the pick up have an arrow on it? If so, make sure its pointing the correct way. For negative ground, pointing towards spark plug. For positive ground, pointing towards distributor.
  10. WoW! It goes up higher than I thought they did. Congratulations! Looks perfect.
  11. Would anyone know if its an easy swap from the 28 contracting brake drum wheels stub axle to 29 - 30 internal expanding brake drum wheels stub axle? Contracting brakes don't stop much in the rain....
  12. I have trouble believing any business can run profitably for less than 20% markup. In Australia, the dealers have a 'rebate' based on volume and targets that the factory would set for the month, this is what determines profitability for most dealers. Yes, the add-ons, finance, servicing, spare parts, and other profit making parts of the business make a huge difference to their profitability just as much as selling a car. But at the end of the day, if you don't move a car, you don't have an add-on, financing, etc. Agree with others, last day of the month is a great time to negotiate. And also look out for the slow moving models that the factory has a sale on, often advertised aggressively to clear. These sales are often too good to pass up. Don't be shy to still negotiate.
  13. Spot on. When you're checking your timing with a timing light, make sure the little arrow on the pick up is pointing towards the distributor (not the spark plug) on the #1 spark plug lead.
  14. To confirm if its safety glass or not, tap it with a key or coin, it will sound dull. Unlike plate glass, which will have a much high tone. Compare the sound to the door window glass.
  15. Same here in the banana bender state...:)
  16. Mate, its a TOPS car. Oh! Your lawn needs watering.
  17. This is what keiser31 is referring to. Its off my 28 Chrysler 62, I removed it to allow for an electric wiper motor.
  18. He said, So unlikely a broken starter motor.
  19. Check or change your battery. When the battery is cold, its had enough time settle and have enough charge to turn engine over. When running, it may not be holding charge from the generator/alternator.
  20. The pictured (IIRC) is a RHD but I could be wrong. I can't really tell by my pic. Regarding the roadster, I'm not sure yet. I took lots of pics with my phone and when the battery went flat, I took heaps of pics with the missus phone, which I haven't gone through as yet. A lot of my pics are not great works of photography art, next year I will take a real (DSLR) camera.
  21. This one? Sure did.... And the racing Lagonda.
