mook,you want the standard dizzy from a vc vh vk vl v8 commodore or wb v8..it is a bosch...im not sure that i have one in stock at the moment but when i do i sell them for $195...make sure the vacuum advance is a working item and that the centre shaft has no sideways movement...if it has either of these problems its worth $25 to $50 only as a vacuum advance unit itself is $95 and rebushing is more money for the shaft...module is the same for 6 or v8...
bolts..if jennie and rod cant help i have what you need generally on the shelf...

Spoke to Rodney, and those particular bolts we too had trouble finding, I think Oz is a better bet for the exact ones you need.

Mook, why don't you free some time when you come past for the rocker covers.
Bring your bucket of bolts with you and a texta and some sandwich bags. We can then compare the bolts on my ute and wagon and tag yours. If you're still missing stuff I also have a bucket of bolts, most are sorted apart from the bags where the oil ate the plastic bags.

Hint for young players, clean your bolts before putting in sandwich bags, the oil will eat the plastic.

flexplate [auto] and flywheel [manual] bolts are different...the rest is really not rocket science.:Stormtrooper:

If you have a book, read the remove/install some times it will show the nuts, bolt and the order to take them out and put them back. lots of labeld clip lock glad bags is what i use. if you ask nicely the missus can grab a box of them when she does the shopping hehe.

I got it all in on the weekend, it was all guesswork.
Luckily all the bolts from the engine and trans went in one box, all accessories went into another.

Just a note for anyone thinking of doing a resto.. LABEL EVERYTHING!!!!

So onto the next thing, more of a shout out really. hey ski man where did you get your chrome done? and also can anyone recommend anywhere to get zinc done in adelaide?

Cheers in advance.

hey guys i have a big box of nuts and bolts, but non are labeled. silly me.
If you could take a photo of your spare nuts and bolts and roughly where they came from it would be a great start. I'm sure that i have them, but i don't know what they are.. lol.

Heres a tip that is handy sometimes, screw the nuts/bolts loosely back into whatever it is that you have dismantled in the places they came from. It saves heaps of dramas later on. Bag and tag is a good idea as well.
Mook I am sure the flex plate bolts would be similar to the flywheel ones which are fairly thin through the head of the bolt. They will probably have a Y style marking on the head of them indicating they are high tensile bolts. As for actual length you bay need to suck it and see if you are not sure.
