Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Excellent, thank you for the picture.

So just to confirm, all those black earth wires there, you just folded them up and taped them off ( except for the short earth that screws into the Pertronix base plate ) so its as easy as undoing the tape and revert to the points and condensor setup again ...

Any chance of someone posting a picture of how the 1762LS Pertronix looks installed?

I am going to give this a try myself since the 1762LS doesnt require any grinding and cutting.

But to confirm can someone who has fitted the 1762LS tell me if I am not correct?

I wasnt planning on removing ...

Hi,

Has anyone been able to find someone in Sydney to supply and fit this Pertronix at a reasonable price? seems like anyone who knows anything about the Pertronix resides in Victoria.

Is this a DIY job? will I just require a set of screw drivers and some pliers or will there be soldering and cutting wires involved?
ooppss

no cutting or soldering required!
just a couple of screws, and unplug!
Easy DIY!

cheers

Thank you for all your help guys, saved me a bucket load of cash ...

Mines faulty I think, I have to flick and play with the lights for my drivers side headlight to work. It often doesnt come on when I turn the ...

My problem has been progressively getting worse.

I have a 1993 TB42 Dual fuel.

I used to be able to crank the engine and start the truck with half a turn of the ignition. This had been the norm for ages.

Then it used to take an extra crank to get the engine started.

It then started to take ...

Ended up taking it to a local autoelectrician and he managed to get a 2nd hand regulator from the wreckers and it worked out to be $180 all up.

Abit steep for a 2nd hand unit but at least the window is working again.

More then likely it will be the plastic piece of shit cog that goes between the motor adn the winder cog on the window frame. Both mine have shagged out and its just a matter of getting them from nissan or elsewhere and putting them in

Nah that piece is still in perfect condition, the fault is ...

Have you checked for power at the motor. Not had bother with mine but they must be controlled by a relay somewhere. Put a meter or test bulb on the connection and earth to check for power.

Alex

Nah motor is fine, no problems there.

Its with the knob that goes into the door skin, the other end ...

Hi All,

My drivers side power window is not functioning anymore, whats worse is that they are almost all the way down.

Can anyone recommend a power windows specialist in the Sydney SouthWest area for me to take this to get repaired?

I have a 1993 GQ.

I have tried removing the door trim and ...

At best case scenario I have a blown head gasket.

Oil is milky and slow loss of coolant. Oil cap is caked in white sludge.

I took it to my local mechanic and he cant tell me without taking the engine apart weather if I have cracked my heads in the process and if I had then its going to cost a ...

Or you can pull the head yourself and shoot it off to a specialist Head Reconditioner (or just buy a new casting).

I did mine and, to be honest, it was pretty straight forward. Saved about $1-$1.5k on the repair.

If you need any help, feel free to PM me.

Thanks for the input guys.
I pour 2 ...

That would be ideal but I would assume freight from Melbourne to Sydney might be abit too complicated.

However I got a quote from Mannell Motors recommending I chuck out the TB42 and put in a 5L Commodore engine, drive in drive out for approminately $15,000

I could buy a GU for that price. I guess ...

Can u post some more info on the electronic dizzys?

Who sells them in NSW. Sydney - Newcastle areas?

Are they easy to fit yourself?

Are there any tricks?

Have you got an update on this?

I am also having problems finding someone from Sydney to supply and fit this for the $275 mark. The ...

My local mechanic isnt a LPG mechanic so I was wondering if I could get him to replace the coils and points?

Im sure he can replace it, however if my memory serves this process will stuff up the timing?

Once the coils and points are replaced do I need to tell him exactly the right timing setting ...

Hi Guys,

I am starting to have problems with my 9 year old IMPCO 300A dual fuel system.

I have a 93 LWB GQ TB42

Over the last 6 months or so it would be very very hard to start the car on LPG.

When I bought the truck about 2 years ago it would start with half a twist of the key, it was ...

Thank you all for this thread.

Completed this excercise on the weekend and it was spot on.

Managed to pour almost 12L into the radiator after draining the block.

It was actually a 14mm bolt under the exhaust manifold and yes water pissed out everywheres.

Thanks again.

Sorry to dig out an old thread but would this be the same for the TB42?

I too have experienced the same thing, I bought 3 x 5L pre mix and I could only pour in just 1 and a half bottles only. Rechecked the manual and it did say its a 14L of coolant.

Please advise me before I start undoing 12mm ...

Ill try some heat on the weekend. I have a decent breaker bar.

Its the actual square recess thats giving way not the breaker bar. As I said the square hole will turn into a circle hole at this rate.

No good ont he WD40, there is a rock hard paste between the thread of the plug and the thread on ...

? It needs a oil change after 239,000km.
Would hope its been changed many times in that timeframe.. :shock:


Ive tried using the breaker bar, it just ended up kinda rounding the plug square hole..

take for a drive in mud and crap, then take it to a shop to get it done just this once. if it ...

Yeah there shouldnt be any kinda glue there, but there is. Ill take some photos to show you guys.

Transfer case, front and rear diff sump plugs.

Im trying to change the oils in the front and rear diff and transfer case. I can not for the life of me remove the filler plug.

Ive tried the ratchet, Ive tried air rattle gun and tried the 12V rattle gun. All with the same result. I end up rounding ...

Any chance of getting the breakdown of the transfer case please?

I think I have the same thing happening to me.

93 TB42 Dual Fuel.

Ever since I bought the car 2nd hand its always sputters and " misses " when I accelerate, even worse when driving uphills.

If I didnt know better I would come to the conclusion of it being a miss, however it rarely happens on ...

Hi All,

First time since I had any problems LPG related since I bought my truck a few months ago.

234K on the clock.

Recently I noticed that when the truck is running on LPG the temperature needle would hit just below the over heat mark on the temp gauge, I then would need to switch it over to ...

Hmms 93 LWB TB42 with 75L petrol tank getting me 410km dry.
90L gas getting me 390km dry.

OT: Is it really bad to run either tanks dry? I do this all the time before switching to the alternative fuel.

Standard height with 32s AT

Erm..I thought the TB42 was gear driven.....of course ive been wrong before ;)

OK complete noob here, if it was gear driven what would this mean then?

Does it mean it should last the life of the engine?

Im planning on touring and with over 232,000km on the clock already I would want to replace ...
