Hi Chris, Some comments below. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chris Simpson Sent: Thursday, 13 June 2002 1:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Gearbox question
Stanza has the speedo drive on the passengers side and the electrics on the drivers side. [Correct, I'm not sure if the stumpy is exactly the same though.] Talking about stanza 5 sp boxes a few questions for anyone that can answer them dor me. 1. mine sits too high and hence touches on the top of the tunnel. Is there a different mounting block or rubber that is of a lower profile? or will it be nescessary to space the mount lower? running L20, L16 mounts and std g/box cross member [With a Stanza box you use a Stanza mount or 240K, which is much thinner than a 1600 mount and you nearly always have to re-drill the bolt holes in the xmember which with the Jayco (sp?) kit that I always copied is reversed. The Jayco kit was designed to be used with block spacers (~19mm thick) and longer bolts and was DOT approved] 2. In my box there are two of what looks like reverse light switches, ones connected up and runs the revers lights, whats the other one for? [Pollution control switch - on a manual ADR27A car such as a Stanza, the vac advance is only active in 4th & 5th gears. This switch controls a solenoid in the vac advance line from the carbie to the dizzy - it was the first mod that everyone "fixed" in those days, problem was the switch worked in reverse to what was logical i.e. it only supplied power to the solenoid in 4th and 5th so if you just pulled the wires then you never got any vac advance at all, but a simple re-route of the vac wires and if you did it to look like stock then it did the trick - most rego blokes didn't have a clue what all the hoses did or where they went anyway, just as long as it looked neat] 3. What is the best speedo cable to use with the Stanza box, the input is on the passenger side? Stanza i would assume. Its an early 1600 with a long style dash not that that matter i dont think. [Whatever fits, late 180B was always good as they have the heat shield where the cable passes close to the header] Thanks to who ever can come up with the answers [no worries] Chris Terry Rudd writes: > The Stumpy mounts the same as the Stanza doggy box so it is a direct swap > xmemberwise for a 1600 that's already got a doggy fitted.
