No worries. Should it be a sticky as it's ongoing? Just a thought.

Is it a late HZ van? If so it is probably the original motor. Can you send me the van's details? I record late HZ engine numbers against chassis and vin as there are no records for HZ past 6/78.

PSN, and it needs to be pre 6/78.

Possibly, although only being an SL/R and not an XU2, L34 or A9X option package might count against it. Send me the details and i'll ask.
