    Question Trusted Machanic Required for my GQ Patrol

    I've been tuneing and servicing my own cars since i can remember.
    But due to resonds that i wont go into, i find myself in need of a motor machanic.
    To do a tune up [points] on a worn sharft and to tweek the LPG .On my Patrol GQ
    Nothing major just someone whos switched on and wont charge the earth.
    Someone near Burleigh Heads or Curumbin would be good , any recomondations would be appreseated

    If the dizzy shaft is worn you will need to get that fixed or its a waste of time, more so with LPG. I reckon you are having lots of backfires when running on lpg

    yer lve thought of the convet
    but out bush point or condenser is a easy fix
    did you up your coil to a big banger or somthing a little more modest
    ld be interested to se how it goes of road and a couple of miles on it
    good luck and thanks

    No need to change coil keep your ballist resister also keep your old points and condenser in glovebox if any trouble which is not likely only takes 15 to 20 minutes to change back as my mechanic said a lot of the early GQs problems was their ignition system
