Leave your parts car with me :) And I'll ship the parts you need...

Those of us who enjoy working on them almost as much as driving - and I assume you're in that category - sometimes dread the incredible amount of hours and weekends one little section can take... knowing full well that section will lead further in ... to another ... and another Sand in every...

This is the SF South Bay listing I pointed out a few weeks ago and aaaalmost went down to view because the price was so tempting --- at 15,000! Was listed for 20,000, remember? I could be wrong, but I doubt it. I think one of our members posted how frustrating it was that the craigslist ad...

Would like to see a picture or link of the deck / sound system you choose. Need ideas...

Okay, did some reading in my Tech Info printouts on D-Jet again, trying to figure out where exactly to hook up my vacuum gauge and figure out if I had everything needed to perform this test. What I've been able to retain in regards to this Pressure Sensor is this: It's very likely that my...

No problem. Sounds pretty interesting - like you're living the dream. It'll probably take me three or more weeks; I just putter around on the coupe while watching sports. The injectors were rebuilt by Fuel Injector Corp. I believe to the same exact specs; an Sfdon referral. I also changed...

I've put less than 100 miles on my '73 and so I chalk it up to new driver learning curve.

Ok, so I spoke too soon; I'm having issues still. The dieseling isn't an issue anymore, but I'm still having fuel delivery or stuttering hesitation issues. Pamp, another member, suggested I install another ground from the fuel pump ground location at the ECU: To the negative terminal of the...

Test drove it... New ground in, but it still has delay/hesitation -- not as bad as my drive a few days ago, so I believe the ground may've helped. Going to post in D-Jetronic Rebuild to keep the thread whole. Thanks again for your help, Pamp

Ok Pamp, I did my chore: Had difficulty figuring out the best way from ECU to engine compartment, so decided to temporarily go through to the trunk And while there, double up on ground: Then I zip-tied to my brake lines underneath and came up through fuel line opening, finally ending up...

Sunday's chore. Thank you!

My coupe is stuttering; I accellerate and it doesn't respond that well, then all of a sudden it acts like it gets full fuel and jumps, then drops-off again -- as if I let off the accelerator. It's different than the original stuttering problem at higher rpm. This feels like a similar problem in...

Stevehose, you gotta quit driving like a crazy person. It's terrible.

Now that you asked, you're doomed. There's going to be no shutting-up that nagging voice in the background "Shock towers? They're fine, right? Right?". None of us are going to make it go away. Sorry. Chris? I'm telling you, you're the last one I thought that would say you're leaving it...

Here is a response from Carl Nelson (after I asked him if he had a preferable solution): "We developed this with Mark Smith (UK) back in the 80s. I may still have some to copy. It was expensive then, more so now. The real issue was that by the time this repair was in evidence, the rest of the...

If I had to drive on the right hand side -- hell yes, I'd switch to automatic. It's different. Now I don't feel my yellow hoses are that bad... My LA bling can't touch this!

Me too. Think I'll take a taxi.

I have 16s, so these are definitely larger. Style 5s, 17" -- like on my 635. I think I'm taking off that piece behind the rear license plate now... But 42k? I think the interior is just barely better than mine; you can see some flaking veneer and pretty tired paneling... And I suspect that...

Toned it down a bit; stock air now... Yellow tubing didn't kink as easily and replacing so many really tight bend ones... Couldn't find some of them.

Yes, I agree. But I really liked Stevehose's slide-in 98/98.5 mm version - especially how he filled in the (additional ?) holes in the body of the cylinder. Maybe Stevehose could show us how he prettied them up after paint? But I'm already sold on his version; I want to stay away from stressing...
