62 Split Ute

[warb]

got one form years ago somewhere, on the way to old bar one year, went from the back of the line-up to the front to get a video, fast down the right lane... Mr plod launched out on the middle of the cruise and fingered me hard, buses hitting the anchors and driving all over the place... he got me tho, and was 67 in a 60 zone or something bat shit crazy like that... is what it is..

Put some sign writing on the SC to promote the wife’s business. No point having a commercial vehicle if it’s not doing some work.

So it was time for some upgrades!

[Beatts]

Removed the old air filter setup and fitted a better one to help the little 1600 single port breathe
Had to drill a hole and weld in a pipe for the crank case pressure relief and kept that all hidden away at the back.

The SC now sounds way better and is performing much better. Makes it up the Adelaide Hills freeway in fourth gear, so no more changing down to third 3 or 4 times along the way.

wIn, win!

Yes Mick it runs better, seems to just be less restricted.

Less need to drop it back to 3rd gear going up most hills and chugs up in 4th at around 70-75km's/hr.


Next time ill make the pictures smaller and the words bigger for you!!
