HSV memcals are a little bit hard to find, I looked around for a while before finding these guys
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GENUINE-HSV-MEMC ... 4cf20f4311
I got one of these for $93 delivered and it was brand new, being a manual it has a 27C256 so removed that and put in a socket.
It has the 1Fxxxx knockboard as per the photo, which I believe is V8 one.

such a pain being so rare, im thinking of borrowing my mates v8 knock memcal for when I tune the next v8 turbo, so I can at least see the knock counts while tuning.

Yeah i rang holdens
Said they are no longer avaliable.
And even if they did, would only sell you the memcal IF you had a HSV to begin with..
Same response from other dealers in Adelaide..

Based on the comments above, just bought myself another one.
Have a felling in another year or so won't be able to get one anywhere.
