does the back felt (part 9) attach to the roof body or the sliding panel? The rear grey seal is glued to the panel itself; the front and sides (one piece) is glued to the body.

play as shown in the manual, and the tranny still grinds when you try to engage a gear (this presumes an all mechanical 1600 clutch, not the adjustable hydraulic one on the 68-early 69 2002s), then it ...

manual wiring diagrams, nor is it in the "accessories" section. Like the delay wiper kit for the pre 75 cars, I'm sure the original headlight wash/wipe kit came with a set of instructions. There was ...

all 1600s and 2002s with VINs below 1665200 (approx build date March '69). The 1600s have a mechanical linkage; the adjustment is in the pushrod that goes from the pedal linkage to the withdrawal for ...

Early cars don't have 'em, nor do they have the row of dimples along the top of the inner front fenders.

Both are designed to allow the car to crumple at a predetermined location in a front end c ...

bad fuse or fuse holder (corrosion)
poor grounds/sockets at the bulbs (unlikely that all 4 would fail simultaneously)

A 320 (E21) oil pump is identical to a 2002 pump except for the pickup, which is a separate casting from the pump body itself. When I was rebuilding my engine, I found Mesa parts was running a sale o ...

ask, hey, is that half a Chevy V8?

Stick with black...nice and understated, easy to keep clean.

short bumpers, no lower trim strip and what look like frosted hubcaps (altho they just may be dirty) peg it as either a late 68 or a 69. But then it's Atlantic, and at least theoretically Atlantic wa ...

Are there any specific place that rust would be VERY bad, such as frame areas? Yep, check the following:
* the rear inner wheel arches (in the trunk)
* the rear subframe itself (outer ends and w ...

First thing to do is determine what carburetor lurks under your air cleaner. Since you don't mention a choke knob (it would be at the base of the steering column opposite where the ignition switch is) ...

Original rectangular shift boots had a dullish, smooth finish. These boots were used on the long-sided consoles that began with the "Modell 71" cars in mid-1971 all the way through the end of 02 prod ...

1. Can you turn drums? Yep--maximum size is cast into the inner drum face

2. What models came with what size drums? (Mine is a 67 1600) Think it's smaller than the 2002 but don't remember the exact ...

the highway and/or take trips. I installed one in 2006 after driving 4 speed 2002s for 37 years--best improvement I've ever made to an '02. My poor '69 (still a 4 speed) hardly leaves the garage now ...

common), the bearing noise is probably coming from the idler pulley that's used to tension the A/C belt. As you surmised, the A/C belt runs only the A/C, as air was all aftermarket dealer installed o ...

is this the aluminum pop-up one that folds down when the sunroof is closed? If so, that's the second or third 76 I've heard of/seen with one...never seen a factory installation on anything but a 76, ...

NGK BP6ES or the Bosch equivalent (they keep changing their nomenclature so I don't know the current number). Both Bosch and NGK (and Nippondenso, for that matter ) plugs have end terminals that unsc ...

you'll relegate the SHO to daily driver status to "save" the 2002...trust me on this!

As Rob said, first make sure the car is structurally sound enough to mess with, then make it roadworthy--stoppi ...

same $$, I'd buy the 2002--better & easier resale, and more you can work on yourself--presuming you do your own repairs.

Main drawback with a 320i is the Bosch Jetronic FI--it was a bit dodgy when ...

with the Toronado drivetrain (Eleganza?), they're quite collectable and should bring good $$ if you sell.

Ask yourself, what will you get more pleasure from--the motor home or the tii? If you keep ...

1. The self-parking mechanism may be faulty...'02 wiper motors have a power feed that's "hot" all the time; that way the wipers can park themselves at the bottom of the windshield after you turn the ...

just take a couple of 20-25mm long 6x1 studs (or cut the heads off two bolts) and screw 'em inot the hub to align fan and hub as you're whanging the fan in place. Same trick for later BMWs with lug b ...

and a jam-packed trunk, I had 30.7 and 31.4 mpg tankfuls on the highway at a pretty steady 70mph. Even had 26 mpg on the tank that had 8 autocross runs. That's with a (nearly) stock engine, 2 bbl Web ...

Quick analysis--at least the car was running before you changed the plug wires...so the logical conclusion is that the plug wires are the problem. I think you reinstalled 'em out of order. that woul ...
