Your gonna have to remove that AC pump as it's totally different and in the wrong spot for the 304.

Well its 90% done ,been a massive job
It has the entire Calais loom minus abs, it now has the high bcm
level 3 dash/trip computer and power windows wiring is all there.
The climate control all works-just have to regas the the system.
Starts and runs great,started 1st go.
The engine had a clean/respray ,
Few mods,70mm tb,k&n filter,ngk iridium plugs and few new hoses
bits and pieces and 160deg thermostat.
Also runs a bf single fan which covers the radiator core perfectly and moves some air!
Has pacmakers,100 cell cat and red back 2.5" system all bolt on-no welding.
Got plenty of mods planned,eg suspension.brakes and another interior
and prob the diff next from 3:08 open to 3.9 lsd.

Thanks,took it to wsid has run 15.0 with the 3:08 open centre
Got an oil leak so prob would have run 14.9 if it wasn't for that.
Full weight and 3/4 tank of fuel,was fairly hot too in the arvo.
Needs some shorter gearing and lsd next.
