Stock wheels and tyres vs 16' 35 wires with 7.00x16 and 5.00x16 stahl radials i borrowed of my mums sport coupe to fit in a bit better at a hot rod event my mums model a wasn't ready for For reference my mums burtz powered 28 sport coupe that has since been finished

I've never seen them on an Australian built car, I'd never even heard of them until I joined a few American based Facebook groups/forums, doesn't mean they never had on rhd model a's, I'm just saying I've never seen them

I do, but its an Australian built one there are some things that are different from a us spec one being right hand drive

I had a new Stromberg 97 on my warmed up a(I pulled it off to put on my mum's hopped up burtz with a second new 97), I replaced it with a one of the later larger 94's from a yblock, there doesn't seem to be much if any difference in power between the two but the off idle and low speed engine...

Thats where I'm lucky I am a machinist

I will, I haven't gotten around to fitting it yet

I got a laycock out of an 80s Volvo at a pick a part in Melbourne, they are available here, if your lucky you can come across them

If you have a pcv pulling a vacuum in the crankcase there needs to be a way for fresh to enter or you can start sucking in seals and gaskets

Fresh air gets pulled in through the oil filler/breather

I modified my a engine to have a proper functioning pvc and ill be doing the same for the Burtz block that I'll be building for my mums sport coupe, I drilled a hole in the back of the block to take a pcv grommet (physically as clos to the opposite side of the engine as I could put it from the...
