He started in a Zupps Holden Yellow Dolly XU1...I reckon someone has done a replica and he might be driving it in regularity...Just a guess.

Been chasing a shitty idle for 8 months...This morning I thought ..gonna find this...
The B/G Ezy Idle screw is in the centre of the carb...same hole as the bolt for the aircleaner...So I thought...I wonder if the bolt is too long and has wound down the idle screw?..Sure enough...the idle screw as hard in....cut the bolt..adjusted the idle screw...bloody thing sat there at 1100rpm and didnt move for 15 minutes...
Checked the timing..perfect....float levels are spot on...
Check alignment when I get my new toy and I am ready to rock and roll.

$20 for the Sunday Kev....Sat includes the Sat night WRC Special Stages thats why it is dearer. WRC is over Sat night.Though for the extra $20 to be up close and personal with current WRC action its pretty reasonable.
