What voltage do you get at the ignition switch ?

As similar I guess to a Chev small block but the off set is reversed
On a Chev the LHS head is further forward than the RHS to fit steering boxes and clutch and brake pedals in
The Holden V8 is opposite as we drive on the other side of the road
Holden V8's sound really tough, they sound tougher than a small block Chev but don't go as good as they sound lol
They do go pretty hard for a small motor and when hotted up will punch well above their weight

Probably a little late to the party here
When doing gearboxes I find the electric deep fryer filled with hydraulic oil to heat bearings and the like the go
And the freezer works well
I can usually just drop the parts together
The deep fryer is nice gentle even heat
Okay, back into my box
Oh this is really interesting thread, thanks for sharing with us all

So if it isn't making any smoke at all your lacking fuel
So the next question is, what controls the amount of fuel
When the turbo failed did it dump it's bits and pieces in the exhaust ?
What happened to the turbo when it failed ?
Even though I most probably be able to help as this pretty modern
Diesel is still diesel and they still need air, fuel and compression to work, even if they are swimming in electronic doodahs
No smoke tells me no fuel
Of it was mechanical I would say fuel filters
It sounds like something is telling to not add fuel

Probably take a photo of the motor, those numbers mean nothing to me
I'm guessing it's a E7 motor though

No idea on the location but I expect the U.S. somewhere
Ask on Facelessbook, probably in a private message will get a better result

They worked fine, Holden even sold a kit to put the 308 V8 in the Bedfords at your own place
Can't imagine manufacturers doing that today
Leyland sold their smallest trucks with the Australian Leyland V8
International Harvester little trucks had the 345 V8
Dodge COE sold their trucks with the 318 Hemi
We were hoons back then, back when fuel was cheap

Can you just clean this up with a couple of die nuts ?

Everthing Geoff said, and especially so if it was all working fine a little while ago and no one changed or made any adjustments
It could be something really simple and just throwing parts at it may not even get close to fixing it

I dunno why they are this way Geoff, but they are a pain in the ass some times when changing a flat tyre on the side of the road
44,000 lb back ends are normal, course thread each end, 58,000 lb fine in the spoke and course on the cleat
Stupid idea I always felt

Brocky I figure main land Australia is probably not much much different in size than the lower 48 states
A lot of retired aged Australians spend years rubber necking and exploring the place
I figured when I was going to the U.S. and Canada last year it was gunna be for a few months and even then I don't really feel it would be enough time to do it justice

4 minutes ago, Joey Mack said:
Do you celebrate with fireworks 🎆 🎇 like us ? Im quite sure theres beer involved..
Joey fireworks are pretty much banned in most places in Australia now
Yet no one really cares to much and any excuse for some fireworks legal or not is welcomed by most

Even the woman get a bit wild at time and given half a chance would love to kill us, maybe ?

No mate, that was when we no longer were British subjects, or the change from British subjects to Australian citizens began
As British subjects we were pretty much a self governing country from 1901 and did what we wanted
As far as I know, the first war we fought under the Australian flag was the Vietnam war
Up until then it was the Union Jack
But Joey to answer your question, 1824 the continent became known officially as Australia

Joey your correct, we were predominantly from British stock
I have half Scottish and half Welsh blood in me, the Princess is mainly English blood
My family came out here 200 years ago last yearbaa free settlers, Australia had only been settled 36 years when my ancestors arrived
We were British subjects for the best part of the first 200 years of settlement
In 1901 we become independent
1948 the Nationality Citizenship act came it been
And it took until 1984 for us to be no longer British subjects of any kind
A lot of things had to change for that to happen and they slowly did change

And independence day for Australia was January 1st 1901
