    Well your channel finally prompted me to pull the trigger. Wasn't planning to buy a car yet and as I've said previously I was always planning to make a purchase for a project but I was concerned I may not finish it. Well about 3 months ago, opportunity presented and I ended up picking up something in quite good condition for a good price. I bought it because I can enjoy driving it for a while and then when the buzz starts to fall away a bit I can start the project. Just wanted to ask you what manuals have you got. I have found some online that look like the original workshop manuals. I think there are 2 and they are green. Just after some info on what you used. All the best and looking forward to seeing it finished.

      Haha cheers mate. Na I’m not a sparky or a mechanic or even a tradesman of some description. I have worked in a mechanics work shop many moons ago. But the truth is I’ve played with bikes and cars all my life. Pretty much self taught. I’m a researcher and I like working shit out and I think I’ve got a good eye for detail. I’m pretty fussy too so it all comes together with what’s in the garage I suppose. I’ve owned the old girl since 2011. I don’t know a lot of history on the car apart from the owner before me living in the Pilbara in WA. He bought it from South Australia and it’s a Brisbane built car. It was a little rough around the edges when I bought it and I was always planning a resto. About 8 years ago a young guy ran up its arse and caved the boot in and that’s when I took it off the road and started the resto. I’ve always been a rev head and don’t care much for purity. I just want a tough old head turner to drive to take the kids to school in haha. Cheers mate. 🤙🤙

      Yeah I figured that. There was a bit going on behind the scenes. That switch that I fitted was a second hand switch that I bought. Apparently it had been tested as working fine. The switch that you see the contacts on isn’t the switch I fitted in the end because the back plastic off my original switch broke when trying to put it all together. But the contacts on that second switch must be filthy inside too. Frustrating.

An old trick I use to do is get one of those rubbers(eraser) with the pen rubber at one end and the pencil at the other and rub the pen rubber over it. Little bit more abrasive without removing contact material, or very little. Works a treat. If the contacts are really bad a bit of metho and some material over a pen end should help remove residue as well. The blunt end not the sharp end. You don't want to scratch the contact surface.

    Have been watching your build for awhile. Take my hat off to you. You have done an awsome job. My first car was a HT monaro so I have a soft spot for them. Tossing up whether to buy one done or to have a go myself. I've seen plenty that get started but never get finished and I'm concerned I'll run out of steam. Anyway awsome job. Looking forward to seeing it done. Just a couple of quick ones for you. I have watched all the videos but can't remember if you had a big arse fuse on the battery. Was just looking at that post and the main power cable going through the fire wall. Not trying to be an expert here at all, but was wondering do you have any protection on that cable between the post and the battery just in case of a short on that cable to the body. The other one was I thought I would put some theory to the blown ignition module. This may or may not describe what happened but there is an equation P=VI P=Watts, V=Volts and I=Current. For a given load (Watts), if the voltage decreases then by calculation the current will increase so for example if you have a 24W load and the voltage is 12V then the current would be 2A, but if the voltage is only like I think you said 4V then the current will end up being 6A, so bottom line is you end up drawing more current to make the same power so it would have been like a heating element cooking the electronics. If you already knew this then disregard but thought it might be handy in the future if you have something like this again. Hope that helped.👍

      I haven’t fused the main power supply as yet. I’ve been trying to find something suitable. I realise that would be best practice. As far as the ignition goes…. I’m still a bit baffled. There shouldn’t have been any voltage drop to it. I’ve calculated all the cabling throughout the car. My research tells me that those MSD’s are known for it. I should have bought an ICE ignition. Cheers mate. 👍👍

      @@htmonaroamateurbuild9267 Haven't done the research on the ignition module so I'll take that on board if I end up having a dip myself.
