Modifying an Aussie Icon! Would Brocky Approve? ???????? HDT VL Calais Sport Ep 2.

On this episode of The Skid Factory we set about modernising an iconic 1980's HDT VL Calais by adding a modern engine management system. We explain in depth what's required to successfully convert a carburettored engine to modern engine management from fuel system to ignition right down to wiring needs and initial startup. The ancient Quadrajet Carburettor is being replaced by multi-port fuel injection and an electronic throttle body from an LSA. The distributor is also swapped out for a VT Commodore crank angle sensor so the Haltech Elite 2500 ECU can have full control over the engine.
