    Not responsible for exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment. Those tubes are for stale air scavenging from the passenger compartment on non sunroof cars. I find that exhausty fumes in the cabin are usually from oil leaks onto the exhaust manifold, either from a leaking valve cover gasket, leaking distributor o-ring or housing gasket, or oil weeping from the exhaust studs.

    Agreed on the specialist route. It requires special pullers and other tools to separate the transmission case on those things, and getting the tools will likely be worse than sending the tranny out in terms of time and money involved. As far as bearings, any bearing specialty shop (found in the yella pages or industrial areas of major and minor cities alike) will be able to supply you with suitable bearings given the inside and outside diameters and thickness. I believe that Walloth and Nesch offers a transmission rebuild kit with seals and gaskets, but no bearings. Cahsel might have something, but you will need to contact them directly.

    Hey Errybody! Anyone got a parts car they're hacking up? I'm looking for a pair of transmission cross member mounting brackets for a 5 speed install- the tabs welded to the transmission tunnel which hold up the cross member. I know that there are other options for mounting a 5 speed, but if someone has a parts carcass and the sawzall handy, maybe they'd send me some love? I checked with BMW already, and I can buy them new if I order a 10 pack of the things from Deutschland. But barring a group buy with 4 other fellas who want to go this route on a 5 speed install, that would just be silly. Thanks! Chris Location: Portland, OR, USA

    Hey C.Diesel, what does 1679434 translate to in VIN speak? Mine is also registered as a 71. Not to thread jack or anything.

    Anybody out there have a nice set of early door panels in black they would like to trade for a nice set of early door panels in blue/black? Thought I'd throw it out there before dying my blue/black set black/black. The mylar on my set is gone but the vinyl is in great shape and the card itself is also in very good condition.

    My grandfather (Charles Rouse) and James Rouse were either second or third cousins, which puts me at 4th or 5th cousins with my generation of Columbia Rouses. I do not get invited to the Family reunions and have never met Edward Norton

    Front bumper brackets? Please email.

    Just as the subject says, not uber concerned with condition, so long as solid. Going on my (currently bumper-less) rat.

    new head gasket for 3.0 and 3.3l m30 motors. claims to fit 3.0 s, 3.0 sc, 3.0 scl, 3.3l, 630 cs, and 730. Old big 6 head gasket for my no-longer-mine Bavaria. Who can use this thing?

    Here's a set of aluminum grilles for suitable for a race car or maybe a rough daily driver. It looks like the aluminum chipmunks have been nibbling at the corners of the headlight surrounds, and the center grille is a bit crunchy, but the set is surprisingly straight overall. $70 shipped.

    The strut housing is in good shape, though it has a little surface rust on the spring perch and some white overspray. The threads for the collar are good, as is the spindle. The hub and wheel studs are also in good shape the backing plates are rusty, but not rusted through. No bearings included. $250 obo shipped to the lower 48.

    I've got a used Tii strut housing with hub for sale. This is a replacement strut housing pulled from a parts car (as in manufactured more recently than 1973). Good condition, no bearings. I can install bearings for additional $, but i figured I'd leave it naked in case somebody wants to blast and paint the little guy (I've got no blaster access). I've also got a left and a right backing plate, both are covered with surface rust but no rust-through. Real OEM wants about $650 for the strut housing, and about $350 for the hub. That's just crazy. What's the going rate for these things used? Half that, maybe? Make an offer. I'll post a pic after work.

    I recently rebuilt a motor for a friend's 1600 restoration. It's kind of a hot motor, with mahle 9.5/1 pistons, a schrick 284 cam, weber 40mm sidedrafts, and an IE reproduction 008 distributor with pertronics ignitor. I've got the timing set at ~4 degrees BTDC @ ~ 900rpm, up to `24 degrees BTDC @ 2500 rpm. The thing doesn't run great, and I can't seem to get any adjustment of the #3 idle screw. It idles rough, doesn't have the power it should, and it backfires (popping from the tail pipe) on deceleration (engine braking). I did not rebuild the carbs, the owner of the car did (yes, i know . Here's my questions for all you FAQ gurus: Do the schricks require a different valve clearance than the stock cams? AND... Why does the car run like muff cabbage cold ( and i mean really poorly )? AND... Why does it pop from the exhaust on deceleration (engine braking)? Should I be looking mostly at the carbs, or could the valve adjustment be affecting things? Thanks, Chris
