GS was available across the range and many were 302s. The rally pack plate means it is a GS. If it has square headlights then it would be a Fairmont. So virtually a GXL without the badges.

It's hard to say if it's a factory GS. The fact that your car still has a plate saying rally pak is a surprise in itself. If you want to know what the car is worth check out trading post and see what they are selling for there. XAs and XBs are comandin

G'day Stu you didn't say what colour,trans type or what the body prefix is ie JG23,JG32,JG34. most rally packs would have twin headlight grill! I also belive that factory rally packs have the small i.d tag on the front crossmember below the rad suppor

the wiring on a standard xc dash is the same as a gs.the cluster plugs in to a multi-pinned socket. i fitted 1 to my standard xc & all i had to do to get it to work was connect the pink wire to the coil (it was next to the coil taped to the loom)& change

There was also the "country pack" Rally pack had slightly bigger sway bar and more harder suspension from memory. Country pack had slightly raised suspension as well as a sump protector. GS is another option again but was usually included with the othe

Stu, I'd whack an 8 in myself. If you're going to have "show" might as well have a bit of "go". You can always keep 6 and it's bits in a corner of the shed should you want to return it to original one day.
You might have to change the tacho in t

Stu, you may be able to use the 6cyl loom. Just compare it to the V8 one. Usually it just means adding a few extra lengths of wire here in there in the bay to make them reach. Tacho wire for example. All the wiring under the dash should be fine, just

Stu, almost forgot. JG34 is Fairmont sedan.
Matty, JG40 is Falcon ute. 250 motor with a 3 on the tree. I'd be surprised if it was a GS. If however it is a GS from the factory it would have GS dash, bonnet, factory spotlights, flip cap and as Tony s

Sounds like a nice car anyway. JG40 is falcon ute. E is 250 high compression motor. N is three on the tree. Was the car registered as a V8 when you got it? Is there much wrong with it? The XC utes look excellent done up. Used to be a gun metal gre
