Dunno. My 3/75 has a carbon canister but doesn't have ADR 27 on the ADR plate. I'm thinking it might be the "series 2" HJ 8(?)/75 on?

Rodney, 83 WB_UTE beat you to XU3.

Getting closer on Q1.

Taily, you are almost there with your first statement. Think harder and read the question. When will you find 27 on the ADR plate, ie what 6-7 month period if your HJ doesn't have it? Hint, people with 1/74 and/or 3/74 HQ's go and look.....

Is it xu4 that is a kingswood with passenger tyres? I remember sending you photos of tags that you said was a xu something?

Not just Kingswood, but any Holden ute or van (except Sandman) optioned with passenger tyres after 9/75 is special vehicle package XU4.
Think of it this way. From 11/71 HQ through to 1985 WB if you just ordered a standard ute or van you got load rated tyres. For some of this time (1974 through to late 1979) you could option Sandman which was option code XX7 for just under 2 years and changed to XU3 for the next 4 years. This is your standard Sandman.
In late 1975 GMH introduced the option of passenger tyres on utes and vans, and this created 2 x new special vehicle packages: XX7 for the new Sandman and XU4 for the rest. The new Sandman only lasted 4 years but XU4 went into WB. No-one can tell me why they didn't just continue with XX7 on the standard Sandman and use XU3 for the new one with passenger tyres.

Q5 is my van but since i moved i havent seen my carby and i've been working on the car so i guess its MIA

[HK1837]

OK, looks like the last 2 x questions were too hard. I've put the answers in red on the original post.

Do we want another one? Might take a while for me to think of questions that the anwers are not generaly known though.

[RodneyHZ253]

[QUP]

Good stuff HK, keep it coming. Maybe some other member can toss in a few questions and keep the thread running.
