2) In California, cars >25 years old can obtain "historic vehicle" plates that eliminate the need for smog, which is a route I plan to take....
I'm not sure. He is very well versed on the Bosch systems and may well be an expert in the distributors. He was also very helpful on the phone...
If you determine that the WUR needs rebuilding, I recommend sending it to Larry Fletcher (CIS Flow tech). He did a great job with mine (for an 86...
I knew the gas pedal was sticking during acceleration, requiring more force, and was becoming harder to modulate smoothly. I ruled out pedal and...
BTW, we park on the edge of Monterey when going to the auctions and ride our bikes from there.
It is crazy crowded. The best strategy is to get and stay someplace central. Also, Tuesday morning is the Cars on Ocean Avenue in downtown...
Increasingly sticky throttle cable. Took apart pedal area and the pedal is smooth and free. As is the rotation on the little cam roller and the...
Went well. Jacked up the car (higher in the rear), and drained the coolant with open heater settings, thermostat and radiator bleeders open. Got...

I don't know your set up, but my 86 328 WUR was the culprit for difficult hot starts.
Good pictures of the laps. How the heck did you fit in there with the top on, plus a helmet?
You describe exactly what my '86 328 does - about 160 (checked with a hand held temp/laser at the thermostat housing) and about 190 after sitting...
Chris, I had a warm start and poor warm idle issue that took considerable time to solve. It turned out that the WUR was not operating properly....
With a 288 front air dam on the GTB, you could use both to push snow.
John, this is a well planned and clearly presented tutorial. I hope you do many more as I am a 328 neophyte (sp?) and I attempt as many repairs...
