It has been done and I plan to do this as well just haven't gotten that far yet.

You mean instead of using the M1.3 upper timing cover and associated parts?
C'mon plug the hole and wasted spark!
Yes, gives a more traditional look especially with e12 L-jet plenum, runners and fuel rail.

I'm with Don on this one, actually.
Can't say I have ever considered modifying the previous-gen parts to work with a later system in such a fashion, seems like a lot of work for a cosmetic thing. But, to each their own.
In order to actually do it, I suppose you would just have to fix the dizzy such that it would not advance/retard and would effectively duplicate the rotor/cap combo from M1.3.
I found out that Sven locked his at one point.
I remember 4 years ago when Don sang the praises of M1.3.

4 years ago I thought older women could still be good looking.

I think they may be saying the same thing as you.

I just like the old school look, e12 stub manifolds, C runners, plenum, water pipe and fuel rail. Just installed the injectors and a few yellow zinc nuts and bolts. And I'm not going for crazy horsepower, just useable torque.

No pintle caps?
I am using Carl's adapters to the fuel rail, do I need these too?
Adapters are on the top and pintles at the bottom.

Are you also going to use E21 320i runners for extra low-end torque?
Yes, I have those as well.
