Hi all, thanks for all the input I got from you guys on my last post about my car not being able to idle right and stay on. I received some emails from Mike on this forum with some advice and I think I found the problem, thanks Mike! I've been messing around with it alot and tried cleaning every little part on/in the carb, everything seemed to be good. I was pretty sure this behavior had to do with a vacuum problem, there is no resistance when I suck or blow on the vacuum hose hooked up to the dizzy while the car is on/off. So my question is... will a vacuum advance unit from a 320i dizzy work on the 2002 dizzy? If so, which years, any chance one from an 81 320i will work? Where would I be able to find the vac. advance unit for the 2002 if the 320i ones wont work?
Thanks again,
-Cyrus

The method I mentioned, is to check if their is any resistance when you suck on the line, and there was none, and it has a pertronix electronic ignition. I have gone through everything and the only thing that seems to not be working right is the vac. advance. That's why I'm asking if one off a 320i from the bone yard will work.
Thanks,

1977 thru 1980 320i is the same as your 02, it may not show the same #'s and still have the same style/shape/fit.
