    Mine is a late 1985 LWB Deluxe 5 speed wagon with SD33T, all stock standard. I use it as a daily driver a few months every year.

    Taught my son to drive in it and he can now jump into any vehicle and handle it with ease.Even the RTA examiner commented on the benefit of him learning on an old school vehicle.

    Cheers Ric

    Have you tried adjusting the timing to eliminate the pinging? Also might be dodgy fuel.

    Check timing , check plugs they could be shagged

    Unless we all start trading parts between ourselves.
