I ended up taking it to a place that rebuilds starters and Alternators. It was the rectifier? So the internal plate was replaced with all the diodes etc. So it was $60 for the rebuild. The car is back on the road. Next the rust on the passenger rear wheel well. The rust has been cut away.. Ill Fiber...

Thanks I ordered a new Voltage regulator - brushes.

The one in the Alternator is from China. I ordered a Bosh one and will have it tomorrow.

Hello group Well its getting to be in the 80s here in FL and time to stop driving the Saab. Its a bit to warm to drive a black car with No AC. So I was going to start doing some of the body work today and noticed the Alternator light comes on and get brighter when I rev the engine. I dont think its ...

I sat this event out since we are running the Lemons event in TX next month. So I missed the Saab win. They have been out at the past 2 races but have never been able to keep the car running the whole race. http://jalopnik.com/5466217/break-out-the-lutefisk-saab-takes-24-hours-of-lemons-overall-win ...

Thanks. Ill go get them mounted tomorrow. I figure I can allways out a set of spacers on the back if needed. Im not doing any sort of performace driving and they are goodyear tires with a pretty stiff sidewall so I dont think Ill have issues. Ill also need to run over to the U pull and see if I can ...

I did a search and was reading about tire sizes. I see most of the discussions are about tall thinner tires for the dirt. I have a 1975 99 EMS it has the stock golf ball wheels. It has 185 65s on the car. I have a spare set of 205 15s. But the current rear tires are pretty close to the inside of the...

Ill look it up in the Haynes.. I dont recall seeing that it said to hold the RPM at 2k.. I have more than one manual- book so ill look at them both.

Put in newinjector lines and washers, pulled the pump out of the tank and made sure it was clean. It already was really clean .. suprised me for a car that has been sitting for 5 years. got it running well. Also found that the pertronix kit in the Distributor was binding and the advance was not work...

Ok played with it more. Did some more reading and found out if you jump the fuel pump relay and pull the injectors out of the head. Then pull up slowing on the Air flow flap the injectors will spray. This work and the #4 was a bit blocked. I got it cleaned and working. However the car is still Idlei...

Thanks, Yep she is the one with the Mini. We delayed the honeymoon till Aug so we could go over to the UK and join in the 50th anniversary of the Mini at the factory. Were also going to spend a week in Ireland. So this is how I spent my morning. I had to remake one of the fuel lines due to me cracki...

Didnt get out to it since I spent all Sat at a U pull grabbing parts off a BMW Bavaria. I have one and always am looking for spare parts.

Swede, yep I still need a set.
No rush , I am in Brandon FL. 33511 re if you want to figure out what shipping would be. I just had a set on Lenses sent in from the UK. I cant imagine that shipping would be that bad.

Thanks

LOL that sounds like me and Old BMW 2002 parts. I just went over to my Exes to clean out the shed. I found a set of Webbers, A Hi perf cam still in the box, used Bielstiens. And a complete suspension. I had forgotten what was there. So if any one finds a drivers side please let me know. I also will ...
