Im a die hard Holden fan, have been for ten years, since I got my first Holden when I was 15, a '78 UC Torana with only 50,000km on it. Man, that was a great car, wish I'd kept it. I've had a few other holdens since then, a VB Commodore then a VP, and my current daily driver is a mildly hotted up V6 VX. I've just bought myself a new toy, a 1967 HR. Heres a pic: http://tcimages.net/Disp....aspx?PD=11180636&S=ISS It was a great find, the panels and paint are excellent, its a very straight and rust free car. The 186 is gone, and someone has put in a 202 with extractors. I've got a few things in mind for it, but first off it needs to lose the standard wheels (thinking of putting on a set of dragways). My question is, will a 186 manifold fit the 202? I want to install the X-U1 triple carby setup. Is this possible? And easy? Also another quick question, this is the first old car I've owned since they stopped selling Super. Whats the best type of fuel to use? Standard? Premium? Optimax? And what of ethenol blended fuels? Thanks fellas! Edited by user Thursday, 16 November 2006 2:18:56 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

If you can stretch to 15" mags (and find them in a stud pattern AND offset to suit your HR) tyres will be much easier to source and cheaper to boot. Yes, the 186

The previous owner has relocated the battery to the boot, so maybe he had plans on doing the same thing. I'll always put in the lubricant just in case. I've got a friend who has an S series Valient and h Edited by user Friday, 17 November 2006 12:44:10 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
