From The Editor

Hello and welcome to the August 2016 Edition of Holden Torque. On the cover is Daynas
ute and van at Kurri Nostalgia Festival. It is only two months until the AGM and as per the
Clubs constitution a full description of all Committee Positions and the Position
Nomination Forms are included in this edition. Please be aware nominations must be
received by the club Secretary no later than one month prior to the AGM.
Last month we had a question about generator to alternator conversions. I have included in
this issue a wiring diagram from the Old Holden web site that I hope will help.
As the weather warms up, so does the events calendar. August, September and October are
huge months with something for everyone. If you hear about or want to attend an event
that is not listed in the calendar let us know and we will add it.
As always please remember to support our sponsors.
Enjoy your Read
