Thats correct Trev, if you own an older car. You got to be prepared to do work on it yourself. And its good to do your own work too. I do all my own work on mine, except for air conditioning. Im currently doing intake manifold gaskets on a 1993 V6 VR Commodore. Although the weather isn't that great for it at the moment. The 253 V8 in yours would be the best sounding 253 I've heard. Got a good exhaust system on it. Alot of other 253 get that "Thong clap" sound to them. But yours doesn't do that
thats right Ben ya caint be paying some one $150 an hr to do work ya should be able to do ya self.... she is a nice running little 253 for sure... good luck wokeing in all this rain mate cheers
Your electronic distributor and blue coil might be ok. Copper spark plugs are cheap ,flush the radiator too 6cl are easier good luck sometimes take the car the mechanic to adjust points timing if you had taken the car to the mechanic with the blue coil they might have picked it was the spark plug. Don't drive too fast just cruise your a good cook those lamb chops
Thanks for the video, Trev. Straight after the video, I am going to Casio away that associating song for the HK Holden Premier(Greyliner) All the wonders of my Asperger's sense of humour. I'm going to download this video and watch it all night in bed. The live stream the other night I will be watching that all night tomorrow night in bed. You probably don't know anybody else with such Asperger's sense of humour with the way I do things. Nobody else does that. Only myself ay !!🤣👀Rolling...
Its good to here the boats running well Trev. It sounds like the problem was the spark plug all along mate. Maybe the electronic ignition and coil you took out is still ok Trev .
@@hippytrev7452 Back in the day when i was getting around in my old Holden Beast with the 308 . Plugs were only good for 12 month weather i used NGK or Champion plugs . NGK is the way to go with a Holden V8 🙂
Just found this guy today..fucking awesome..my guess is theres a crack in the old plug...ive got a old 74 cj jeep and its great for learning old school tinkering ways too keep it ploding on..

If you took the boat to a mechanic, you wouldn't have learnt something new, and you wouldn't have that feeling of satisfaction and pride of fixing the problem yourself.
