  1. Thanks for the reply's everyone...I'll definitely be using this advice in the newt future when I'm installing my choke cable, and yeah I do agree with carburetions legitimate website with saying they sell a genuine carb. Thanks for your advice this far!

  2. Hey guys I'm buying a new Weber 32/36 manual choke carburetor and I'm looking for advise anyone has to install the manual choke cable? My car currently has a water choke but I was having trouble with it leaking and the carb is old so I'm just buying a new one. Also I intend to buy it from carburetion.com has anyone bought one from here and if so is it a real Weber? The price is just so much lower than other companies. Thanks for your advice

  3. If what you have in mind is the diagonal square mesh material as used on some late model Chrysler 300's, I think it's gonna look a little strange--especially if you leave the center grille with its vertical bars. And if you remove the horizontal slats from a stock grille, you're gonna be left with a very flimsy aluminum perimeter frame and very little to attach that heavy mesh to.  Besides, you'll be cutting up a pair of NLA '73 grilles.

     

    IMHO...

    Mike,   Thank you for your input! i was thinking of doing all grilles including the center grill, but i do agree with the flimsy nature of the grilles. Mine are in terrible shape so I'm not too worried about cutting up my set, which has also had repairs to the horizontal slats and looks horrible  :blink:  but i just was not sure if my idea of this had ever been attempted yet! guess not but I'm still deciding on whether i will actually do it!

  4. Hey guys I'm currently in the middle of my restoration build of my 1973 BMW 2002 roundie and I've ran into some problems with finding parts. I've been on pelican and autohausaz but haven't found some parts I need (ie. Door seals, mirrors, headliner) and I'm just wondering what you guys use to get parts?

  5. I have a unknown part located in the front right of the engine bay behind the right headlight. It has one hose connected to a small radiator located in front of the main radiator. The other part of the hose is not connected and I'm wondering where that goes also? Thanks

  6. So i finally got my 2002 up and running since i bought it! what a great feeling! anyways today i was messing around with the idle speed screw and idle mixture screw and i couldnt get the car to idle at 700-900rpm :( i tuned the mixture screw to the best point, then when i would adjust the speed screw to lower the rpm it would get really rough and almost die. If i had the speed screw where it stayed alive then it would idle at 1600rpm. anyone know what im doing wrong? or should i just stay out of this part of the restore and have a shop do it for me? thanks for the help!

  7. I recently bought a 1973 2002 that was not running because the carburetor needed to be rebuilt. After the rebuild i was looking through the fuel system and saw that the vapour purge line was cut off in the engine bay and i have no clue where it goes lol. ive looked at many pictures to see if i could spot it but i havent been able to. can anyone help!?

  8. I have E36 seats in mine. The install needs work though. The seats sit too far out board unless the seatbelt receiver is removed from the the seat.

    I did it by cutting out the factory mounts and welding in a piece of 1 1/4" angle from trans tunnel to frame rail/inner rocker under the front and rear mounts. Pretty easy, unless your interior is already completed.

    my interior is all bare metal right now :) did you do any wiring for power seats?

  9. I have 2 front seats from a e36 and im curious if anyone has done this before with all the wiring included in power seats? or am i just better off getting a manual seat which is older...easier option but i feel the power seats would be well worth the work!

  10. So i recently got a 1973 2002 and it needed the carb rebuilt. So ive spent the past month trying to figure it out, after thinking it through ive decided to just buy a new carburetor and start fresh. The carb it came with is a weber 32/36 DGAV water choke. while trying to fix it i noticed i didnt have very much fuel going to the carb! could this be the fault of my carb? or my fuel pump? One thing i want to know is should i replace my carb with a water choke or get a electric choke? also i wanted to upgrade the fuel system to a electric pump instead of a mechanical pump. can anyone lead me in the right direction on how to get started with this? any answer to any of my questions will be great help! i am new at working on cars and took on this project as a learning experience to greater my knowledge on cars! thank for the help!
