If you play around with (retard) the timing you can get often get them a bit quieter.

Yea, got extractors

When I get a chance, I'll check/compare/adjust pump timing on them all, must do valve clearances afer changeing my head gasket to

G'Day Matt,

glad the old coral glow's turned out to be a good buy for you; she was bl**dy rattly but never let me down. Keep us up to date with the project - you're always welcome to try and sell it back to me. With a turbo maybe...

I've run a couple of tanks through the GM powered '88 and she's hovering around the 12/13ltrs per 100 mark so far. That's a mix of city and highway so I'm happy enough there.

Now I just need to flog it up some sand dunes on a 45 degree day and see if it copes with that..

cheers,

Will
