Now I know why it got sent to the wrecker, the push rod is bent and cracked through the rocker.

i guess that they did not have speakers in the doors.i hope this is so as iam getting mine filled in why the interior is getting redone

no door speakers. They had a speaker under the dash if the AM radio was optioned.

yes i know about the speaker under the dash as i have just bought an original am radio and all the bits to make the dash right but i need to find a speaker that will fit so i can then put all the dash back together but like every thing i can not do anything to i find that speaker the first piece of the jigsaw

Yeah that jigsaw is frustrating at times! I think a lot of people are just fitting the am radio but are putting a decent stereo somewhere like in the glovebox. Then put speakers somewhere creative. Very hard to put speakers anywhere but in the door of a ute I know.

Anyway back on track... I started to pull down the 253 for the van, pretty interesting stuff since this is my first go at it I wish they taught me this stuff in school. :Chin:

Can someone please tell me what this section is.. more particularly why is it so poorly machined I thought it would be better than this from an engineering perspective.

Rodney thinks it wouldn't need to be tidy, its just an opening in the valley so that oil could be caught and run down the drive of the distributor on the cam...
