Re: Bypassing the combo relay????

I am also in search of a combo relay. I have a newer plastic black one that works intermittently. Most of the time my fuel pump will only turn on when I run wire from the fuel pump terminal straight to the battery. I am starting to suspect a problem in/under the fuse box. I'll have to check that, bu...

Re: 77, 78 side mirror glass

I just checked realoem. The part numbers for just the glass are the same for an e24. Part numbers 51161848819 and 51161849648 Although its NLA, I suppose I could just try to find an e24 mirror up to 8/1979. Of course this is assuming I could separate the glass from the mirror without damaging it. Mi...

It's the two year only (I think) chrome mirror that mounts on the glass corner, not on the door skin. It seems like finding a used e24 mirror with a good glass woul...

Re: Not the AFM but what?

I had a similar issue. I remember getting stuck on the side of the highway and crawling underneath the car to run a wire from the fuel pump to the battery. The car started and I made my way home. Check the connections and contacts at the ignition control module. Mine was not plugged in all the way. ...

IIRC, the part of the front frame rail that clamps the US bumper shock absorber was left alone, but I cut off (trimmed) the tab with a self threading nut on the euro bumper bracket.

My US spec 78 has no pump inside the tank.
It has wires on top of the pick up for the fuel gauge.

Will try to lube the speedo cable. As long as it's not adding additional miles, I am going to leave it alone for now. "But officer....."
