950-ish as per the tach in the car; feels a little lower than that.

 

AFR is 12 ish at idle (early on first cup of coffee.)  It wouldn't idle smoothly unless it was at 10.5 before- tired engine.  I've got the new engine in now, it's helping with that.

 

KFish has 250k miles and it sat for 30 years.  Injectors are around 425 psi opening pressure.

 

Thoughts?

I am more interested in the throttle body. The KF pump is bulletproof unless the oil wasn't changed or starvation or gummy fuel.

So for the D cam to be closer to the hole, the pump needs to output more fuel for the same operating conditions, no?  If everything were locked where it was and I loosened the 2 pinch screws on the shaft and rotated the D cam, then it's closer to the hole, which looks 'more correct.'  This would retard the action of the D cam, leaning out the rest (all) of the fuel curve per driver wish (gas pedal position.)

 

I'm already half covering the hole on set up.  I can try 3/4 covering for shits and giggles.

 

Jim, what are you seeing for AFR at idle?

Detailed and polished my taillights.
They're both marked 73' but I'm thinking one must have been replaced using nos because they don't exactly look the same.

I used my harbor freight polisher with a blue polishing pad and maguiars mirror glaze 205. I was very happy with the results! Be careful on the reverse light section of the lenses because the plastic seems a little softer and it tried to melt a little on me. Resized_20180802_133843.jpeg

Did you Jump ALL your bulbs like this on the cluster? I fried a circuit when i put in a LED light on the circuit board part. 
I only jumped what you see there. The tachometer was the only gauge the lights worked on but when I jumped out that bulb the rest of the lights on the cluster came back to life.

I've got both door seals and quarter windows installed. So, today I spent more time adjusting windows. I also reinstalled my sunroof handle etc., sun visors, rearview mirror and "oh shit" handles.

 

Waiting for the upholstery guy to hurry up and finish my seats!

More patchwork quilting on the RF floorpan salvaged from the ‘69 to put in the ‘73.

I had to recreate the outer front corner of the pan. The remains were just paper thin and there was a large hole where the pad used to be.

There were actually only a few small holes in the pan around the frame rail, but the metal surrounding those holes was pretty badly pock marked so replacement patches were fashioned. Plenty of work yet to do before I start fitting it to the car, but I’m making real progress now. Perhaps in a week or so I’ll be ready to flip the car around and start on the drivers side... lol

 

I know what you’re thinking, “Why?! You can buy panels from WN all ready to go for practically nothing.” This is an exercise for me. I’m saving a car that otherwise would have been crushed and trying to do it all with vintage metal. I have basically no budget so even the cost of one floor pan can buy a lot of cut off wheels, wire, and shielding gas.

Today in FAQ Classified Cars for Sale section, I found a car that is interesting in a personal way.  The VIN (2782033) is only 26 from my 1974 tii VIN (2782059).  This car is the closest I have found to the mfgr date (June, 1974) of mine.  I found the car VIN 2782028, so I am getting closer...

 

Have any of you found the car with a VIN only one number away from your own?

 

These three cars are tii's.  Did BMW make runs of 2002's, then runs of 2002tii's, then runs of 2002's, etc. in '72-'74?

It appears so, Larry,

 

The production dates suggest, for instance, that they might have run a “day’s-worth” of tii's, i.e., 40-50 cars, at a time.

 

My 1973 tii is VIN 2762757 (factory Inka). Delia’s old “Orange Julius”, a 1973 tii, is VIN 2762756 (factory Inka as well).

 

My 1976 is VIN 2742541 (factory Polaris). I didn’t find the next 2002 surviving, but I found the next 2002’s window sticker, VIN 2742542 (factory Chamonix). The seller of the window sticker said the car had been crushed years earlier.

 

My cars, along with the 2742542 window sticker, are in the registry.

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

Here's a tii datapoint for consideration ..... math is good .... statistics are gooder .....

 

Larry's '74tii is 2782059, built in June '74

my '74tii       is 2782426, built on 18 July '74

 

thus, 376 numbers in let's assume  ~4 weeks ...... 94 numbers per week ..... which is  ~double what Conserv suggests ......

 

Cheers,

 

Carl

I understood that serial numbers were assigned BEFORE a car went into production and depending on parts availability and options a serial number was not indicative of when the car came off the line. But maybe that just applies to the American assembly line.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
