    i prefer rubber bushes in the control arms for a smooth ride but use nolathane for sway bar rubbers..same in the back...lowering is a change of springs in the front and blocks in the rear or get the leafs professionally retempered..
    those wheels you call rostyles are not..rostyles were a pommy sports wheel.i know its a kiwi thing ay....
    .they are called rally 2s and were originally made for pontiacs....

    Rally 2's

    Rally 2's??Alrighty then I will go with that.Really it is the first I have heard it called that way.(even At our last Holden nationals)
    What width is the widest you can go with these rims.I take it they are 14X6's.

    Cheers Kiwivan

    I had 235's on 14 x 6" rims.
    Looked good but was a bit too big for the 6" rim.

    205x70x14's that are on her.
    Well today did the ball joints,Tie rod ends,As well as had a look at all the brakes.Will remove the dumpy pipes and extend the pipes so they come out the back.Have done a compression test and all around the 185 mark.Also did a oil pressure test and when cold about 45 at idle.Hot is about 25 at idle and when running at about 2500 rpm when hot sit at about 50.So quite happy at that.Found a leaky frost plug so will remove the enginge and do the lot(not sure when,but soon)Changed all the fluids and plugs and checked the leads as well as the points.How have people found the points to be??Was thinking maybe put an electronic one in?Will have a go at the rear pinion seal tomorrow as it is starting to weep.Looking really sound under the van so I am really happyWhile I am under the old girl is there anything else I should look at?

    Cheers Kiwivan
