I see four in my car. One over the ECU on the drivers side, one directly below the dash from the door to the console (the hood release lever and vent knob go through that one), the one you mention on the right side below the glove compartment, and the one over the fuse box (made from fibreboard not plastic like the ohters). There are also two plastic panels where the carpet meets the firewall in either footwell.

So let's see if I've got it. You rotate and Australian mirror and put it on the left side and you rotate a USA mirror and put it on the right side. . . . . . . . . . .

IIRC, at least on my 78, if the fuse blows that controls the dash lights, you also lose the tail lights, running lights, and dome light.

Take a look at the silver 383 stroker Z that is in my gallery. That has got to be one of the best engineered hybrids I've ever seen. Talk about a '350'/240. Well actually I guess that would be a '383'/240. And it still looks like a Z. 6 speed Cobra trans, sub framed, quaife differential, coil overs, vintage air, and of course, that 383 stroker that is set back in the chassis so that the car actually handles. It's only an underhood shot but this car is so well done. I'm more impressed with it than the one in this thread and I'm not a real fan of hybrids. I'd like to see more info on that car. (The V8).

I have two cans of Brasso on the shelf in my garage and I see it everyday on the shelf at work at ACE Hardware. I always thought it was very common here. Now, Vegemite, that's a whole different story.

My bad. I missed the word 'adding'. There was another member here who recently replaced his fuel damper with a filter. In my experience, however, the little filter in the inlet of the fuel pump is easy to remove and clean and I've never seen one get really dirty even on junkyard cars.

There is no fuel filter prior to the fuel pump on 75-78 cars! That is a fuel damper. But if you were going to use an aftermarket filter on an efi car, in place of the underhood fuel filter, make sure its designed for fuel injection.

I don't know, Rick. My parents were from Guyana. Compared to some of the things I ate growing up, it can't be that bad! I never cared much for peanut butter and jelly, however.

If that goes for the buy it not price, I'm breaking out my chop saw and a can of Krylon!

I've heard it said that vegemite has more than 5 times the vitamins by volume than any other substance known to man.

I think you need to look at that again. What they show is the cost for the deposit on the 110lb cylinder. R414B costs about $250 for a 25lb. tank or about $10/lb. R12 cost anywhere from $18/lb and up when you can find it. Most R12 you will find is reaclaimed since it hasn't been manufactured since 1996. The tradename for R414B is Hotshot. I actually get it free since my friend is a HVAC tech.

As an update to my post in this thread over a year ago, I'm using R414B in both of my formely R12 cars. No problems, whatsoever. It requires no modifications to the system. Just an evac of the R12 and recharge with the R414B. It runs the temp down to 32 degrees inside the vents!

When you say 'fuel stuff', I'm assuming you mean the lines, hoses etc. You would also need to switch to the system of relays that go with the fuel injection. And yes, that is an expansion tank rather than a surge tank.

Z Kid, such an astute observation, too bad it will just get lost in the shuffle of obscurity which is where dredged up old threads eventually end up. I just sigh and take it in stride.

Is it just Saturday or Saturday and Sunday.

If you were closer, I'd send you some. I must have about 20-25 of those. Would they be worth the cost of shipping from the US?

You might have a problem with the check valve on your fuel pump. I had a problem similar to what you describe with my 810 and if that check valve goes bad, the pump wont hold the fuel pressure as it lets it all drain back to the tank. I changed fuel pumps and haven't looked back. That may or may not be your problem but if you have access to a spare pump, swap it out ant give it a try. I worked for me.

I installed new heater and a/c controlls. Pull my system down, ditched the R12, replaced some seals and o rings, and recharged it with R414B (Hotshot). It'll cool down to 32.1 deg. at the vents on high! I'll be there, riding in confort.

We have estimated based on the limited info that I have from previous owners plus the miles I have put on it, that my 64 L320 has between 800k and 1,000,000 miles. I'm on the second engine since I've had it not counting the original engine that was in it when I bought it 25 years ago.
