    if the tank does not fit because the corner closest to the tail light is round, you have a tank from a 73 or maybe a 72. the area that you want to cut is not a concern if you will be using a chrome bumper and not the dampener style bumper. you will be doing a substantial amount of metal removal on the trunk floor to make it fit. post some pictures of you concern so we can see it. additionally you will need to cut four large holes in the reinforcement to be able to put the hardware on the bumper during install. you should do this before mounting the tank.

    this oring should plump back up once it gets a dose of fuel on it. as for a replacement, look up H&R fuel inj on Facebook and contact them for the correct piece. ADDITIONALLY, that return valve is also seated on an aluminum crush style flat washer. if you took the valve out and the washer got unseated or fell out of the pump head, no amount of tightening will stem the flow of the pump pressure at that point and fuel will just go around the threads of the valve and pass the oring seal. you will not find the washer listed or shown unless you have the Nov 1988 tii register news letter. and the picture on page 9 sucks but the washer is discernible. or take my word for it and accept that I have suffered with this mess several times.

    go to the web site "etrailer.com" and search for short protected trailer wiring. this unit is designed to not draw power from the car harness but rather from a dedicated battery connection. this unit can be used for trailers that go into water or that get regular damage and repair of lites. I use this on several tow rigs. it resets itself when you turn off the vehicle and then reset.

    if you are going to rust repair in these areas, the best thing to do is remove both of the trims marked in color and also the glass. it it very easy to get them all out and then the rubber strip under the lower trim comes off. 1 unscrew the latch, 2 remove the vertical trim edge on the B pilar, 3. open the window and prop with a 2x4 to hold glass out 3". 4. pry out the rubber vertical seal to see behind it, 5. remove four very small screws under the rubber, it does not come off at this time as it holds the glass too. 6. pull window out, 7 remove rubber window seal that goes around top, back, bottom of glass, 8 both of the trims have aluminum rivets which hold them in place, slice them off with a cold chisel and hammer, 9 do the horizontal first and then the vertical. under the vertical you will find perfect example of the original color if the car was not repainted. it should take you less time to do this work than it took me to type it with two fingers. good luck and update with pictures. stone

    that is the injection pump support bracket and captured behind it would be the pipe support noted above in the blowup picture. the picture of the blow up contains both types of coolant line for carb and tii. that bracket is important for vibration dampening in the pump area.

    Hi, this used to be a regular thing for my customers when they all carried tool boxes and fluids in there daily drivers. I did some research and found that the MOOG CC 827 spring would lift an empty 2002 in the rear about 1/2 to 1". the spring comes with a small pigtail that needs to be trimmed away and the end made smooth on an angle to sit in the spring seat on the arm. it worked well and I did this for many cars. you can throw all your junk back in the trunk and get a nice ride height. make sure the spring pads are in good condition. stone02

    this problem was a head scratch for me a few years ago. there was a period of time when many cars came to me all needing the flex lines replaced. some cars still had the original hoses in the front and back. the fronts have a ring on them indicating the date of manufacture. the rears did not appear to but were just encrusted with years of road dirt. so, I figured out how to remove the rear hoses for replacement. as they are not going to be reused, I just cut the hose against the coupling and put a deep 14mm socket on them. this worked okay but the socket was still at an angle so I tried another tool. I now use a crows foot on the flexible end and hold the body line side still with a 11mm line wrench. I have been doing this for several years now with no problems or stripped fitting. once the flex end is off you can work the fitting so it turns on the steel line and then thread it all back together. good luck and let us know how it works out for you. stone

    many years ago there was a sage man who knew his tii stuff, his name was Pete McHenry. some of you who knew him would know he was a bit of a wizard with BMW conversions. he told me about a factory cam that can be installed into a tii that makes it run better and smoother. I have installed three of these in customer cars and all reported a better response, performance and drivability. so, what cam is it? the cam comes from the 2002 for California from a 1976 car. the only way to identify this cam is from to front face that shows thru the upper cam gear. this cam will have a number "5" stamped in the face. I had not seen one of these for a few years, but by luck, I found one at the Vintage for $20. it is already in the process of being installed into a rebuilt motor. Pete explained to me that the cam was more precise to meet specs, and was just a little different degree for the lobe separation. he continued to explain why it was a better cam but I was lost to all the info he spoke to me. if you can find one you could have it inspected by a cam company compared to a stock piece. maybe they will be able to re-explain why it is better.

    I have no social media or website. the Facebook thing was an attempt by my daughter to try facebook. people find me by asking others or looking on this forum. I have been servicing 2002's since 1983. 215 fivetwozerosix718 text first

    thank you for your kind words. even though it rained, it was fun to get a little car work in. I hope to see your car at my shop, and even more I hope that other people from FAQ get to see your beautiful car. the guys at Sports Car Restoration did an amazing job and you should show it off. thanks, chris or stone02

    the "fuzz" is part of the sunroof cable. it carries some small amount of lubrication, and keeps the rail that the cable runs in clean and clear. additionally the fuzz is an anti rattle component because it supports and helps the cable float in the rail. clean the rail as best you can. Wurth brand spray works very well and does not stain the headliner. use the PTFE sunroof cassette spray, not too expensive but works the best. stone

    a bare block weight's about 100 LBS and the rotating assembly without the flywheel weight's about 60 LBS. the picture seems to indicate that at least one of the blocks is for a tii. how many are for Wii and are any of them usable? I have two customers that blew engines in the past month at the track and I am looking for blocks and parts. stone02

    this does sound like something a newer shop would say. I have the luck of being associated with a shop 30 miles away that does just this thing, but they also have a list of recommendations that the customer can call. I know that I am at the bottom of there list because I told them to put me there, and I usually only hear from owners that have cars that are from 1991 and older. once they come around to me they are usually happy to be a new and returning customer. I love the old stuff and I definitely do not charge enough per hour. this is a good format for me. stone

    I think the saying goes, 90% of your carb problems are electrical. might have it backwards but they can both be applied. you said you opened the hood and touched all the obvious connections. did this include the distributor wire from the fire wall to the dist? I have seen this many times on the car where the wire from the body to the distributor is broken inside the covering and or the crimp at the female end connection. with the motor running try to extend the wire away from the distributor. the strands inside the sleeve break and when the motor leans away from it's normal position. then when you press the clutch, the motor returns to the resting position and the connection is re-made. just one of those repairs I have seen many times. I even drove a car backwards 3 miles home to learn this. let us know the solution. stone
