Spare block has been delivered to its new owner.
I had alot of extra weight in the back of the Goon, the trailer and Cobra dont drop it down too much on there own.
I have made it to Melbourne, and all went well.
But in a good way the Val died this morning in Mums driveway.
Did some testing and found the fuel pump to be shagged.
removed it and pulled apart, found the rubber one way valves had gone rock hard.
I was then scratching my head in Tony's (Mum's boyfriend) shed, and looking up I noticed a heap of old Holden fuel pumps.
Then I spotted one that looked very similat in the shape of the main body. I cut it down (It was wired to the roof) and pulled it apart, low and behold it had teh same one way valve setup, and the seals where like new.
A quick swap over and refit, and all is working as it should again.
