Thanks,
realOEM.com worked for me this time. I tried that site many months ago and it was down and i forgot about it after that. Glad to see its up because it is very useful. I found the part #s i was missing and ordered everything.

Using realoem, the diagrams, and your photos I think i have a ...

Well i found more part #s. Here is what i bought, i hope this is everything. I will continue my search after work. Please let me know if i am missing a hose i might need. I replaced the rad hoses when i upgraded to e28 rad.

So i sprung a coolant leak yesterday and its in the same location as your leak. I Have a 75 530i. Do you know the part #s for the coolant hoses down there? I was going to replace all the hoses in that system when i am down there. I bought 2 hoses from AutoHausAZ : "Cooling/Coolant Hose; Return Line ...

Blaise,
I think the reason i got lower emissions is that either the equipment was not functioning properly, or there were vacuum leaks that got solved while capping the lines for the airpump/egr.

I should say that i did do some other repairs between getting emissions when i bought it stock and ...

Man that sucks you couldn't take the EGR valve off. I am going to try to remove mine when i swap my thermal reactors for normal manifolds (i have a '75). I disconnected the egr system and air pump after i passed my final emissions test here in CO, but havent removed the egr or thermals yet.

The ad says they are e28 based so its not gonna fit. Bummer.

Yeah i was going to get my car washed and waxed next weekend so ill put pictures up after that. It is an interesting color, i tried to find out if it is a BMW color but i haven't so i don't think it is. It can change durastically due to ...

I am looking to replace the thermal reactor setup on my '75 530i and i saw these e24 headers on CL in my area. Does anyone know if/how these fit? its from an e24 Euro 635i so an M30 engine and should bolt right up to my 530i right?

Thanks for your help guys, here is an update; my project is finished. The Fan Clutch was not working (spinning and not spinning randomly) even after i adjusted it to fit properly. So i decided to get an electric fan from flex-a-light, a used e28 radiator, and all new coolant hoses from AZautohouse ...

Thanks guys, I'll check the "washer" type thing and see if i can wiggle the thing back into place. I will let you know how it goes. i have to wait till the snow melts first so it might be next weekend till i can get to it.

Hi all, I have a loose fan that made a lot of racket on my way home a few days ago. The fan clutch has about a 1/2" wiggle which is letting the blades hit one of the pulleys. The fan clutch is the old one with a big central bolt and I have tried tightening the bolt with no luck. I can loosen it but ...
