Sweet as. The fat one nearest the firewall is the Vacuum for the brake booster. And the skinny one near the front is the Vacuum for the Distributor advance/retard.

1300 super,

Can i ask how, and what you did, to make the set up of your air breather, from your rocker cover?? Im looking to do something like that myself, as when pressure in the rocker cover builds up, as well as with all the excess air, excess oil, is transferred into my air filter, maing it harder for the air to flow through, potentially starving it over time, in a much shorter period than just excess air! hahahhah,

Could you please take some pics of your set up?

Cheers MIkey.

Loving the air filter plus oil catch tank combo. Looking very smart.

Hey Mikey, Ive just got a catch can from repco so that all the gasses from under the rocker cover go into it and not into my air cleaner. I'd say your van would have a Single stromberg CD150? so all you need to do is get a catch can (from trademe or repco/supercheap etc) And just run a breather pipe from your rocker cover to the catch can. I had the same problem as you with my old 1300. It kept filling the the air filter element full of oil.

or you just get a long pipe and cabletie it to the crossmember.

79estate · November 04, 2011, 09:21:53 PM

Sweet As, thankyou for that, I will get onto that tomorrow, so my Van runs beautifully!

Yeap sure is, hahaha, sounds good, will i need a Air Cleaner on my set-up, just like yours??

Cheers Mikey.

Nah. you'll just be able to use the standard air cleaner. Or you could go to repco & order a K&N to suit your Stromberg, wich would look totally sweet!!

If I can't find a cable from an Avenger for my conversion, what is the next best bet? Any particular car more suitable / easier than others?

Nikolai · May 12, 2012, 02:21:35 PM

I've got a cable from another car and the twin strommies are still spare (with carb kits), can take some photos and measurements if you need?

blekkja · May 12, 2012, 09:43:49 PM

Yeah, that would be ace. Would you be willing to separate, or did you want to keep your carb stuff all together? I wasn't really thinking about moving up to the twin set up otherwise I would have hit you up earlier. I think I got a pretty good deal and that was enough to sway me from my hardcore single stance.

On a related note did you still want those mirrors?
