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

Most verniers do the same job and quality. I've used both Ally and steel verniers and both were fine, tho the Ally one from Rally Design (Kent Cams) did wear slightly but not enough to be a problem. Make sure you have a new tension pulley as well . Nice setup there by the way ☺
