Are you sure that's not manderin red?

Pics look good, twin point dizzy (is it real or a fake? do the two coil leads actually work?), etc. has it got L34 rockers? Have you had the carby of it? Manifold looks good! Heads? Does it have L34 HM Headers? Its got the choke cable But isn't it meant to have a Quaddy? If it was July 74 shouldn't it have the MPH on the speedo aswell? Whan did they stop that? No console!! Is that a Holley 750? What is the date on the front of the big Nut on the Master cylinder?

Car looks Awsome.

Thanks mate, glad you like it.

Just went out and took some more pix will upload in a minute, I had a look at the number on the big nut on the master cylinder and it says 1H5P. Twin coil dizzy is legit and works, It sure does have the original HM headers and there car does have roller rockers made by Crane, I would have absolutely no clue if they are original or not. Carby as far as I know is a 650 DP but I wouldn't know how to tell if it really is or not.

Stand by for more pix!

Hi mate the only spot where I can see any other colour is in the engine bay where it has flaked off to reveal what I assume to be the original Glacier White underneath.

the info i have is a tassie car which you obviously already no...eng no i have is N780042R THIS INFO is 10-15 years old...thought i could help..

[hungus76]

No I haven't made any mechanical changes since I've had it except to replace the harmonic balancer. I know most of the engine specs as I have a lot of paperwork from the previous owner.

Didn't Crane supply the rockers for L34's anyway?

Must be a different car I reckon mate as mine has been owned by me for 14 years and that's not my engine number.

[unclefestal34s]

no its the same car same rego,same eng no just with a couple of extra prefixes on the end,..that's the only info i have..seeing you've owned the car for so long its history should be fairly traceable..

[hungus76]

Now I'm confused, that engine number is significantly different to mine and going through my paperwork it's had that engine number for a bare minimum of 16 years.

[unclefestal34s]

L34s were fitted with standard rocker with a roller bearing generally called by most a roller rocker,...when dealer fitted track pack option was used crane roller rockers were used and most race of that era also used the crane roller rockers..

[rodomo]

I've got a feeling the tip had the roller, not the pivot. There is a picture on here somewhere, I think Red posted it?

More info that refers to Crane roller rockers and Holley carb:

I'm wrong about the rockers, pic here:

What is the significance of the numbers stamped onto the master cylinder bolt? Is it a item production date or something else entirely?

[yel327]

If the car was sold with no engine number then it wouldent really matter would it??

Cheers.

It wouldn't have been sold with no engine number, that info will be off the original maintenance records. The engine number would have been recorded if the car was bought back to a dealer for warranty or servicing. If it never went back to a dealer then the number wouldn't have been recorded. The original engine number it left the factory with MAY be on the original build records, sometimes they aren't recorded though. The LC/LJ records getting around on CD are also maintenance records, not build records AFAIK.

[Toranavista]

From my understanding the Mph and Kph on the speedo was produced for the export market at the time. They weren't incorpaorated into local production for a set period. They would have been sold as a spare part no doubt. Plenty of these clusters have been swapped over the years.

I was just reading on another thread here that a L34 manifold part no. should be 9936304 so I went out and checked what mine said. Unfortunately mine doesn't match that number but instead says 9929853. Can anyone enlighten me as to what it originally came off of?

[A9X]

Thats a standard post 6 / 75 ?? manifold for 308's.
