Im running a 4500 converter with a simiqr setup to warren.

Overconvertered is always better to drive than underconvertered.

1813 is both Turnpike Green and Lina-Mint.

 

It was called Turnpike Green on C20/K20/C30/C50/C60 trucks and Bedfords. Possibly also on Chev Luv.

 

It was called Lina-Mint on Holden and Torana.

 

The main difference is it is 439-12571 on the trucks (Dulux Acrylic Enamel) versus 568-12571 (Dulux Acrylic Lacquer) on Holden and Torana.

 

As mentioned above there is also Turnpike Orange (1816 also called Tangerine), Turnpike Red (1883) and Turnpike Yellow (1884). I think 1816 is also called Hymix Orange or something like that.

Ahh the memories, my first car was an EK cost $ 495.00 in 1977 any thing over $ 500.00 had a 3 month warranty. She was stock standard with the big block 138, the only thing I did was lower the front end by cutting 2 coils out of the springs but then she was riding on the bump stops.

 

By the way that is an awesome looking car   :spoton:

Yeah baby, that's a good sign when it's already in the car.
Looks tidy mate, and shouldn't take too much to get it going from here.
Good work!
