Hi all:

This question is probably more for our Australian brothers but I'm open to answers from everyone... especially since there are so many diesel swaps happening now.

I'm doing a 2.2l diesel swap into my '75 and I'm trying to figure out where to put the lights for the glow plug and the water in the fuel filter indicators. It looks like I could probably mount a couple more dash lights in the bottom of the speedometer so it kind of matches the C and O lights in the fuel/temp pod but I'm curious where the factory put them. As far as that goes, I might try finding an Aussie dash with the lights in it if possible.

Eric Q.

Heres some pics of my 1980 Diesel 4x4 Luv. The diesel engine option was only ever available in the 4x4, the diesel engines fitted were a C190(smaller brother to the C223). Only 500 4x4 were imported into Australia badged as CHEVROLET LUV, the rest were badged as KB ISUZU. The engines were never fitted with fuel/water separater.
