The last two years BluntTech has bailed me out on last minute prep parts for The Vintage.  

They deserve the praise there getting here..  Thanks Sean and Steve

eBay and Summit Racing have 0.9.  WTB ad would turn one up I would think.

No idea on the 0.8 

Thats a steal,,   love mine GLWS

It's great to hear a group is heading up again this year.  I might be a bit biased on the Gilmore Car Museum since its 

only 25 minutes from my house and Justin and I Volunteer a couple days a week there. The Museum is as good as any auto museum in the country.  The DeutscheMarque Show gets 400 to 500 entrys of German makes.

Well worth the trip.

New additions this year include two Pavilions and a totally redone Carriage House with a restored 30 ft. Bar.

Carriage House

Last years Show

Justin hard a work

Yes, the bar is fully stocked and happy to serve you if the mood strikes.

Those are an e21 part. Also used on E30 and E28.  Here is the W&N page with these parts, though most are NLA.

Looks like a job for SendCutSend.  

Just did my gasket and changed to a 123 Distributor with good luck. Mine was leaking oil bad. Someone installed the part without a single washer.  I used some Hylomar and got the correct washers including the thick washer.

1600 miles to The Vintage and not a drop.  

Vintage prep. Changed out the spark plugs, will do oil Friday. Smoke tested the gas tank and thought I found a leak by the filler gasket and redid the gasket.  Damn thing still smells. 

I also installed  my 123 distributor pretty good results so far. Need to add a custom tune and hoping to be good.

A couple of chemo brain moments with the spark plug wires.   Who thought four wires would be so hard.

Oil change and nut and bolt checks we should be good.  

life moves pretty fast

@jp5Touring did you ever figure out what the issue was? I have the same problem. 
 

sorry to dig up old threads…I’m searching instead of asking new. 

I did the dent/ding on the shaft

Installed a new distributor housing gasket Not a washer to be found when taking it off.

Know wonder it leaked so much.  Installed a 123 Distributor also, still needs a bit of tweaking

to get things correct.   

How do people handle the old condenser wire that goes nowhere now ?

Since we got side tracked a bit.  I have Tim Jason Performance air cleaner.

He will basically make everything to your spec. 

I would check with @BarneyT .   

Thats a nice 2002. Very fair price I think.    GLWS

Couple of hose clamps wouldn't hurt on that short hose after you replace the cloth covered hose. 

2019 had a square tail in black that you could right on with chalk.

Don't recall ever seeing a green one anywhere.

Major major project. Agree 6-7k at best.  Looks to be a home for many a mouse.

He looks to be a hoarder of sorts and this needs everything.🙁

I understand the lost puppy can I bring it home but I would run.

Some cool stuff in his driveway.

This is something I need to do also.   Theres like twenty different Hylomar products.

What  specific one are people using or recommend ?    tia 

I have an AEM AFR that I like very much. Just have it in a gauge pod and tucked in the corner.

It has enough slack in the wires so I can set it up on the dash while trying to tune my DCOE'S.

Appears I need to dust my interior. 🙁

I have that keychain. Purchased at The Foundation maybe three years ago for like $5.00.

I didn't see it on their website. 2002 AD has them but they want $20.  ouch.    🙁

What about stone chips or a scratch ? You can't just touch it up with new powder coat. 

You would need to strip it. Hood would be one thing but nick a quarter panel then what ?

what's your setup?  KoogleWerks header and Ireland piping after that?

I have the header and the KoogleWerks exhaust with a center exit.  

Its the Street quiet version not the Race version, still a bit loud though.

Not cheap but both pieces are very well done and beautiful. 

I bought both when he first released them so I missed the price increase. 

Maybe $200. less on both pieces.

My oldest is a metal fabricator and was impressed with the quality and price.

He does  custom Vintage V8 stuff. Cost run 4k to 8k. 

I think the KoogleWerks header is the nicest one out there and the exhaust is as nice

as any I've seen. Plus Forrest is a really good guy and answers all of my dumb questions.

FYI Ireland Engineering has a complete locally fabricated header back stainless solution on the shelf, I saw it last week and it’s spectacular 

 

 

Detail shots 

 

the whole system was similar to this one they made for me

The Candela Mfg shots are of the KoogleWerks header. Mine is two years old now I think.

I think its been at The Vintage. Looks familiar neat car.
