Thanks Mike!

By chance do we have a step by step write up to do this on our forum?

Thanks for replies. I didn't do anything but replace the exhaust with the 83 535i....everything else I simply took off. I have no problem with replacements - just need instructions and parts list. I believe I understand now that it is also visual and they are going to look for the equipment for reac...

Hello again gang, Well ye Old Baron has been great as usual hence no mutterings on this website...until SMOG TIME! I removed the thermals right after the smog 2 years ago and of course at the time it passed with flying colors. Well I since put 535 exhaust on and its catalytic converter. Well my old ...

Hello all. Been some time now. Of course we are on the way here in LA for a cold and long winter. My back windows won't let me see a THING!

The light is lit but defrost isn't working.

Any thoughts forum?

Thanks Mike. Just out of curiosity - how does this occur? Should I purchase a new one? And I have never had a cover so that concerns me as well.

this lady has been inundated with partially restoring a 79 CVCC wagon AND a 66 thunderbird and I have been brain dead ignoring my babies! I am so glad that this helped us CB and Mike - crew...thanks to you all for chiming in with helpful ideas. that's the way to step in and get er done! CB I haven't...

thanks again all for the ideas. Since i have the fuel pump i will try that...won't hurt (just the $100 bucks on the Bosch did!). The wires plugs cap rotor were put on earlier this year and i bought those performance wires on special at bav auto (red wires)... I will check the connections and ground....

Hey Greg...I put sea foam in and it didn't do a thing.

I haven't removed the injectors.

The one I swapped does have points. The other is as you stated earlier - petronix. Also have two coils and swapped. Same thing. Just purrs at low rpms and starts right up but rev him past 2500 or 3000 or try to pass a slow driver on 405 and thats not gonna happen! one friend says injectors another s...

Sadly this keeps me up at night. Ok kept original distributor and coil. Swapped and same issue. Exactly what you are describing cb. I hold down accelerator and it hits about 2500 to 3500 rpm and seems to surge or miss or likes its having a hard time breathing but it goes back to same rpm just won't ...

So can't be fuel pump (purchased unfortunately). it won't rev past 2500 rpm without kicking down. I can rev higher past it but it chokes again. This happens in neutral or driving. Anyone? I have new distributor with electronic ignition installed about 6 months ago and it has been running great with ...

Sorry I stand corrected. When I rev it in neutral / park it stutters as well.

If I am in park or neutral it revs very high with no hiccups. Stutter seems to happen when I try to push him to speed a tad faster than normal. Honestly I putter around the streets at 40 and let him increase without much on the pedal. No issues when driving this way. The minute I try to floor it - h...

New fuel pump (well within the last 6 months)...Can't hurt other than the price. I'll try that.

any other ideas, keep them coming! Thanks.


I knew I should not have cheated that one time and put ARCO gas!
