    I may not be adding much but am very grateful for the pictures and descriptions. Am saving lots of the pics for reference in the future. Too many people in the trade don't even know the differences and lead us down the wrong path. My shed is littered with wrong parts.

    thanks...... i appreciate your words and am glad that my articles are helping people...
    i am enjoying doing them...

    the problem with the trade these days is not many specialise in early holdens and very few are avid enthusiasts..

    Are HQ regulators actually different than later models?

    no they all interchange...beware the aftermarket regulators but..they are absolute shit and bend and break if you have a stiff to use glass...as in new rubbers have been installed...i dunno why the people that repro this type of stuff do not use the same quality metals as per original..

    Surely the quote 'Classic not plastic' comes to mind here. No one wants to take the time anymore I guess. :angry:
