Same age cars, couldnt tell you which ones i got it from, I think chargers have this type.
Like ours, the passenger side mirror wasn't a requirement for rego, so it was an option, but a lot had them fitted as standard.
I would assume that the remote wasnt considered for an optional part.
How long is the arm on your original bit? |

I wonder if they would have allowed you to option air/steer on a 161L auto? lol I can just see the salesman 'assisting' you to drive off the lot. Could you get a 161L auto?

No, not available, they only cast an a/cond head for the 186 & 186S. The 161 head had a smaller combustion chamber. Then again the 161 lo-comp engine was fitted with a 186 head, so that is a possible build combination. Now that would have been a ball-tearer performance-wise, wouldn't it ? Dr Terry |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Yes, extra mounting bosses on the right-hand side of the head to mount the compressor. Dr Terry |

With auto, it would probably be the only car to not get out of 1st gear over a quarter mile,,or 1/2 mile. Edited by user Friday, 10 June 2011 11:09:40 PM(UTC)

It did have the accessory how to mounting documents to go with it, which were probably rarer than the part,. |

oh yeah. well according to that document my nut is mounted backwards I think. The lever would be really sticky-outy if it was mounted the other way though? lol at 1/4 mile 1st gear - is that for the glide or the tri? or both?!

you'd need a salt lake for the glide
(I did know someone who tried the reverse gear on a glide on an airstrip, but he also tried a jato on a trolley on the same strip...he reckoned the glide was only slightely less scary, but left less gravel rash) |

For some reason a lot of the HK dash harnesses seem to go brittle, not so much for T/G. You got a NOS one? I've got a mint HK GTS one and NOS GTS HT

This is a HK V8 auto GTS harness. Not that hard to convert to a manual one though. |
