Here is a 22 minute video of sports sedans at Amaroo Park in 1980 with the Moffat Monza in Federation paint. http://youtu.be/rNQxECOl30U

I will have to see if any of my contacts in the motorsport circles have any contact info on John to ask him.

Thanks Ellis. Interesting how the rear wheel openings were squared off later in its life.

My genuine 327 HK Type 2, 1969 that I have owned since the mid 80's. White was not available on a 327 till 69. Over the last 2 years or so I have slowly been collecting parts to restore it, then the injection may go onto a base model HK Monaro I also have that I want to make look a GTS that I could drive regularly.
If the injection was actually found to have come off Moffat's Monza I would consider selling it but only for that car. The valley cover part unbolts from the throttle bodies and it has some issues that needed addressing but being high in magnesium content welding it is not easy so I simply cut the valley section off a tunnel ram and machined it to accept the throttle bodies. I still have the original valley cover section and all other parts that came with the injection when I bought it.

Wow, Mark, that is very cool! What sort of car is that?

Hi John, yes they do so I had to cut the bonnet but fitted in the body lines nicely with another small slot at the rear to clear the enrichment linkage at the top of the fuel distributor. This was all done a couple of years ago but haven't finished it off as the car is off the road and working in the motor trade full time some times motivation is lacking when I should work on it.[ATTACH]22216[/ATTACH][ATTACH]22217[/ATTACH] I thought the two slots with the bonnet ridge left uncut looked better than just an ugly big hole.

Mark-This makes beautiful viewing. Neat the way the distributor set up is at the front away from the firewall. Do the trumpets come close to the bonnet?

Hi Steve.
About 25 years ago I bought a Lucas type mechanical fuel injection setup off a guy on Sydney's northern beaches and he told me that it came off the John Tesoriero Volvo Chev sports sedan but before that it was on Moffat's DeKon Monza which John also owned at one point. I don't know if this is 100% true or not though but I still have the injection. John also lived on the northern beaches so any thing is possible.The front distributor drive kit I bought separately so that I didn’t have to cut a hole in the firewall for the CDI which runs off the back of the fuel distributor drive unit.[ATTACH]22213[/ATTACH]
