VE Wagon Model Details.

[Ext User(bob@magnecor.com.au.invalid)]

Omega Alloytec V6 and 4 speed auto transmission

Berlina Alloytec V6 and 4 speed auto transmission

SV6 High Output Alloytec V6 and 5 speed auto transmission

SS Gen4 V8 and 6 speed manual transmission (standard)
Gen4 V8 and 6 speed automatic transmission (optional)

SS V-Series Gen4 V8 and 6 speed manual transmission (standard)
Gen4 V8 and 6 speed automatic transmission (optional)

Calais High Output Alloytec V6 and 5 speed auto transmission

Calais V-Series High Output Alloytec V6 and 5 speed auto transmission
Gen4 V8 and 6 speed automatic transmission (optional)

In particular note:-
There is no V8 Calais model
There is no V8 Berlina model
There is no SV6 model with a manual transmission
LPG will not be available on the Sportwagon
Rear Park Assist will be standard fitment on each model
There will be no Ignition interior pod colour combination

So despite the car being called a Sportswagon, you cannot buy a V6
manual even in the SV6 *sports model* let alone the base model.

Rude! Oh well the Calais V would be the best pick out of the lot really.

Oh well at least you can get a manual in the SS and SS-V model instead.
Why fart around with the SV6 model pfft. :-) Still better than what Ford
is offering on their current wagons really they just have a lot of room
for more beige cardigans.

So is the dissy cap original or blue motor Holden?
Is the coil a push in type (female) ?

Whattya want?
7mm ( black)
8mm (blue)
8.5 or 10mm Both red and faster :-)

I have had 7mm on the Jag for the last 14 years.
Had a VL turbo many years ago also with 7mm fitted.
7mm would be more than enough for the Hemi.
All the heat is on the other side of the engine.
Your special Aus cars price is $46 for a 7mm set plus freight.

Now back to work.

original. At one point I had grandiose ideas about grafting in the
entire blue motor dizzy and hence cap to get bigger distance between the
terminals in the cap, but at the rpms I run, it's seemingly irrelvant.

so basically stock cap.

> Is the coil a push in type (female) ?

It's as per factory - female. It's a hei spec coil - but I believe it's
original fitment was on the last of the factory ford clevelands with
bosch ignition - hence it is female (in direct contrast to the holden
blue motor). Of note, a couple of coils I've gotten had a male/male
adapter in there - so were actually the ford coil with an adapter to run
it on a holden.

If 7mm is what you recommend, that's good enough for me. Do you do COD
post, or should i send a money order?

Money order, cheque, cash, first born. We accept almost anything.
COD is ok but adds about $15 to cost.It would be cheaper and easier
for you to send money order, just add $10 for freight.
Contact me by email.
