I will upload a photo of the tunnel shortly

Looks good Jezza, what size is a VL t/b?

Hi guys sorry for the slow reply, I used a stock vl commodore automatic throttle body, reason for that is, the manual version only has a throttle position switch(on/off) where as the auto runs a genuine throttle position sensor(potentiometer) it measures 54mm, not that big but should be ok???
im just trying to add a couple of pics of the engine, trans tunnel etc,
I had a bit of a play and got the crank angle sensor sorted this morning
as far as the tunnel goes, I went a bit overboard, but you guys know how it is :)

Crank angle sensor,
I cant remember which thread I was reading but I saw one of you guys on here was running a cossie
what looked to be a nifty little cam sensor where the dizzy used to be,
can anyone shed any light on this
cheers jezza

also, can anyone give me their thoughts on best vernier cam gear to go for??
