After sending the VIN to Graeme, my car is a jan78 car, though am still yet to determine when the engine was made. Regardless, it means I can get it rego'd straight away, though convincing the powers that be that the car is indeed a jan78 car could prove to be difficult... I guess I will find out soon enough.
SS427 - still sounds good. Not really knowing the stock exhaust system in the vette, if I'm to get stock manifolds off MADLT1 and the pipes from the gearbox back from yourself, is there anything else I'll need to make the setup work?
On that same note, getting the extractors off am i likely to snap bolts (common problem in the old datsun Z cars)? anything else I need to know?
Will be hitting up the indicator wiring shortly, as soon as the bloody weather fines up and i have a spare moment.
