Is it possible to Put a bench seat in a UC?

I had to pull the Instrument Console out of the UC today because the Voltage Stabiliser failed due to a loose earth.

Symptoms were overreading Temp and Fuel Gauges. This unit is a spare that's a convenient parts bin.

I've created this page. The pinout and model number of the Voltage Regulator used on UC and later models is at the page.

Any additional info or images would be appreciated.

I've just uploaded "pics of our run to Hadfield's" museum.
I'll post more about the day later, gotta hit the sack dudes, i'm stuffed.

I currently have a UC Sunbird with Starfire 4 cyl mated to a Trimatic and 3.9 Salisbury Diff all in great order but thirsty and slow. Any ideas as to what is needed to convert to a 6 cyl manual and best engine / gearbox diff combination. I am not looking to create a street racer just an economical hack.

I have an APA Gas tank for sale asking $200 for it and it is still in date till 2011 and its 85cm width 118 length 30cm high 144.6 water ltrs

Why do we drive Old Holdens?
What is it about these cars that we spend our time and money to keep them going?
I was pondering this question (fairly deeply) as i sat in my Prem on a traffic island, watching people drive past and laugh after breaking down in the turning lane and being pushed off the road by a friendly bunch of prisoners (i kid you not).

I'm curious what people think. For me, being only 18 and being even a twinkle in my old mans eye when my cars were built, it's not about reliving a bygone era, or the performance i can wring out of my cars. It's a mixture of things. Driving with the window down, music blaring, heading down the highway... It's a freedom thing i think.

My Father Has Too Many Cars!!! (12 in total)All located in PERTH WA.

Some are for sale, check them out.

The last time I was at my fathers house (last week) he had a UC TORANA he wants to get rid of. It was one he brought 2 year ago, some one had it as an unfinished project. It does need wheels to remove though ( he is taking the ones off for his FB) but he may have a wheel or two lying around.

Hey everyone,
I need a set of exhaust flanges draw up in CAD. If anyone could do this for me it would be great.
Ive scanned in a set of blue (3.3) exhaust gaskets with a 1cm grid begind them.
If anyone already has a CAD drawing of these already that would be easier!
My email is sav_dan @ hotmail.com

Here is the pics, if someone was to draw these up for me could you have them all close together to not waste much material

On the 21st the fx-Hz club is having a run from bunnings waurn ponds geelong, meeting at 10 ish for an 11 departure, we are running to torquay, around to barwon heads, ocean grove, across to indented heads and having a BBQ lunch at portarlington, we are dragging our club trailer around so if you byo BBQ stuff there's plenty of room to cook on it.
This is a family friendly run, and are trying to attract new members as well as getting our name out there.
So please if you have nothing to do come long for a cruise, as i did today and being a 25 degree day, it was the boost with nuts, and with the windows down in the munro it was fantastic , thumbs up every were.
Its great to get the girl out of the shed...'

I've finally got the money together to buy my new manifold (Weber onto 12 port) and so i gave "Aussiespeed" a call about their 12 port weber manifold but the fella said he's stopped making them as they were'nt too impressive in testing but he has a new one in the making that will be at least two months away :-(
I was quite impressed with the bloke's honesty and even though his other phone was ringing hot, he was more than happy to answer all my questions. His (ever expanding) product range is aimed at us mob who are into the oldschool (including the Grey motor) and is definately worthy of a plug and worth having a look.
Ah well, back to using an adaptor on the Varijet manifold :-(
