rodomo,sorry i carn,t give a 100% sure answer,as it was well over 10 years ago when we met,and thats when he would have told me which plant,we were competitors at drag racing he was imposible to beat,with a near perfect reaction time,he retired about 8 years ago and gave his drag car to his son.
when he visits he recalls things but he has to think hard and eventually he figures it out,i probably should tape some conversations,as its very interesting,and i forget eventually.

Craig, is it a UC Torana or Sunbird? If it is a Torana (ie 6cyl) it is worth getting.

TBM,would that be the factory master cylinder for the EH?

fenz,
we are very lucky here,as for some reason steel doesn,t really rust,i,ve pulled panels out of 4 inches of dirt,and beleive it or not they have been preserved,i,ve got truck loads of good panels stored outside as they don,t get that coastal rust.

so old cars that have been sitting in back yards are still there 20 years later,unless i can get them,hehehe.

Ive had a drum brake kingpin HD with tin top cylinders.
Dont know if they were original,though.
It may have been one of those things that vary from state to state .
