Hi Guys,
I have a mechanic telling me that he will not do a roadworthy on my 10th month 1974 HJ LS Coupe because it does not have a charcoal cannister fitted to it?????
I was under the impression "pollution" came in in 1975???
Can anyone confirm either way for me?
Cheers, Allan

I think your right too Allen, I thought it was the HX that copped all pollution Gear...mainly the EGR valve on the Intake manifold, BUT I also think Charcoal Canisters came in before the EGR pollution system ? Canisters dont lose you power at all, b Edited by user Friday, 13 February 2009 5:20:35 PM(UTC)

Hi Allan
I understand that HJ was a partial emission control system (though others on this site will know better than me).
My HJ (6/75) has the canister but not the emission controls coming through the rocker covers.
I didnt have any probs with e |

im pretty sure carbon canistor and pcv valve is a requirement for adr 27, which im also pretty sure was implemented in 1973. Check your compliance plate, if its got 27 listed, your screwed (as far as getting away without a carbon canistor for the ticke Edited by user Friday, 13 February 2009 8:00:08 AM(UTC)

This is becoming a bit of a drama, because the various inspectors dont have a clue & there is very little documentation to back up what we say or think.
Firstly there is confusion over the date of introduction of ADR27, ADR27A & carbon canisters & exac |

ADR27 introduced several items. The most noticeable are the closed PCV system, where the black vented oil cap was deleted & replaced by the flat sealed type. A vent pipe then went from the rocker cover directly to the side of the air cleaner (both 6 & Edited by user Friday, 13 February 2009 7:03:45 PM(UTC)

Thanks for your thoughts guys.
It gets very confusing when the mechanic reckons no HQ ever had a charcoal cannister and ALL HJs did?
I have a friend who has a late 1974 plated HQ that has no cannister but my HJ of the same vintage is supposed to hav

Allan, I think it will be easier just to take it to a different Rego guy, because the first guy you took it to wont want to Swallow his Pride...
Unless he was a T#rd and wrote you out a "Repairs required" docket, you have to go back to HIM to clear i |

Well the plot has really thickened!
I had a rather interesting chat today with the original owner of my HJ LS Coupe, the bloke who bought it brand new from the Holden dealership in Sydney.
He swears it NEVER came with any pollution gear whatsoever!

Hi Terry,
I think when the original owner said it never came with any pollution gear on it he was referring to the Charcoal Cannister which is the sticking point with the roadworthy. The bloke writing the roadworthy wants me too fit one and I say it wa

I helped out a mate in the HDT club. The EPA inspectors defected him for no EGR valve.
What they didnt realise, is VH 308s had EGR - but only on autos. Manuals had it blanked off.
So I copied the pages out of the parts books that dealt with the EG |
