No I haven't. I'm still riding the GSX1400 but haven't done a big trip in years. That photo was during a ride from Perth to Melbourne across the Nullarbor to watch the super bikes at Phillip Island.

Forget that last question as I have had a closer look at the chart which answers all question. Thanks for your help lads.

Thanks for your replies. I figured the temp gauge (its a moving needle not an idiot light) wouldn't be different on the chevs with v8 or 6. I'll have to take the sender out and test but I think I've got a bad sender. Can anyone provide a P/No for me or confirm AC Delco G1852 is the correct sender.

Hi All, I wish to confirm if the temp gauge in a 6 cylinder 59 belair is same or different to a 348 59 belair? Reason being that I have replaced the 6 cylinder with a 348 and the temperature gauge is over reading by a massive margin. Have tried two gauges with the same result. New sender...

Thanks for the replies crew. I'll stick with the two.

Yes they do. They came with the starter. My alignment and teeth meshing clearances are spot on. No shims required.

No. In the picture you will see the outboard bolt and very fwd bolt installed. To install the third bolt I would have to elongate the rear second hole from crank about 1/2 a hole in the aluminium adapter

Hi, Just after confirmation that I don't need to install a third bolt on my Powermaster mini starter staggered adapter? If required, I would have to elongate the hole in the adapter so as the third bolt would align with engine block threaded hole. See picture attached. 348 with TH400.

Hi Crew, I'm after the email address for Alan Grove Components located in KS. Being over in Australia its easier to email than phone but try as I may I have not been able to find an email on their web site. Cheers, Simon.

Thanks. I'll go with the flex dipstick.

Hi Crew, I am after a TH400 dipstick (and tube) assy that bolts to the bell housing but will clear the R/H side head and headers of my Ozzie 59 Belair. As my car is R/H drive it will need to be a short tube with the cap just behind rear header. Otherwise it will interfer with steering and...

Can anyone recommend an aftermarket dip stick (will probably need to be flexible outer guide) for a 348 (409 pan fitted - dipstick on passengers' side for an American car). I have custom headers installed and find it a tight squeeze. The 59 Belair is a right-hand drive. Thanks, Simon.

Car has been made up from three 59s all of which are from Vic. I moved over Perth 15 yrs ago starting up on the project about 5 yrs. Been a slow grind but it's getting there slowly. I've got an engineer lined up for the extra HP and have had to install a few mods.
