    Hi Doug, Thank you! Yes, Pierce sells the kit online for about $140. I live fairly close to them so I stopped in to pick it up. While I was there, I bought an extra riser for the middle manifold and they cut the crossbar to length for me as well. The third riser might be overkill but I...

    Thanks Markos! I don't know the name of the manifolds but they're the typical three individual manifolds of two ports each. I port matched them to the size of the larger M30-B35 intakes. Stevehose has a great single piece intake - its very nice. I love his Weber set up despite going a few...

    Small win...

    Not to toot my own horn but I took home the trophy for Best European Car today at my son's high school car show. About 100 cars in attendance. Judging was done by the auto shop kids. Trophies were created by the wood shop kids in collaboration with auto shop and their junk spark plugs...

    BMW E9 Windshield - Free w/catch!

    Done deal! Thanks Don. I'll have to warn you though, my lunch conversation with you could include actual words and make reference to: Triple, Weber, jets, emulsion tubes and chokes. If you prefer, we can carve out anything falling into the "naturally aspirated" category from our discussion...

    BMW E9 Windshield - Free w/catch!

    Thanks Mike... Interesting thoughts. I guess a call out goes to owners who have original coupes with original motors and have been light on the throttle - if that's you, this glass is for you! All kidding aside, my car was all original at time of the window swap. Original 2.8L motor, never...

    Triple Weber Rebuild

    @JMackro: I opted to tap into my manifold for this vacuum while i had everything apart instead of realizing I needed it later when it was all back together. The 123ign distributor offers vacuum advance as an option on the programmable unit I spec'd out for my application (6-R-V-B). I...

    Triple Weber Rebuild

    Brendan, you got it. How about this deal, I'll even let you drive it but only if I can drive your friend's McLaren! FYI, for anyone with triple DCOE's.... I've been following Keith Franck's engineering work over on his Sidedraft_Central Yahoo Group. In his words he has just obtained...

    Turkis in Munich

    A friend of mine is on vacation in Munich and he just sent this to me from what he says is a "little" museum! This is in the BMW museum, isn't it? Love Turkis but can't say I've seen one in person...

    Triple Weber Rebuild

    @Stevehose: Yes, definitely need to ditch that vent. Already getting gummed up! Would like to see if I can pull some vacuum on that line through a catch can but I don't want to push that dirty air back through my intake. Anyone doing this sort of vac? Seems like that would create some add'l...

    Triple Weber Rebuild

    Thanks to you all for such a positive response! I've really enjoyed this part of the project. Next on my list is a 123ignition distributor. SteveHose feedback is quite impressive regarding it. That plus AFR sensors / O2 gauge will take me to the next level of tuning although I feel like I...

    Triple Weber Rebuild

    Special thanks to SteveHose and his thoughts and ideas for my Weber tuning. After a complete rebuild and new linkage, they're running better than ever! I'll post my current jetting set up soon for anyone interested...

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    Joined the Danville Concours on Sunday semi-alongside of Kurt D's stunning Nachtblau '72 3.0CS to help support Parkinson's. Despite the 103 degree day, it was a great turnout and our coupes got a lot of attention. Hats off to Kurt for taking the win in the 70's sports car class! I can't...

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    Never thought I'd say this but I jumped at the chance to get up before sunrise on Saturday to take our son 50mi across the SF Bay to his volleyball tourney and then returned later that day to pick him up! Amazing what a coupe, a bridge crossing at sunrise and father/son outing will make you...

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    Brendan, I might have what you need. Perfect condition just need to verify that the color matches and it's yours... Going to Danville Concours this weekend? Text me, I'll be there. Or shoot me your address and I'll drop it in the mail for you.
