Do you know if the check valve between booster and intake manifold is working. They are troublesome and available. Ken
ABS should be okay unless parked in Arizona. ABS has very good dimension stability.
D, What polymer are you using. Be sure it does not "relax" at elevated temperatures; car parked in sun can reach about 90C. I bought an set on...
Freons are very TOXIC. I would prefer a small propane leak in the cabin with windows closed than a propane leak. Ken
Remember, most 5-speed manuals, including the Ferrari 5-speed, have an overdrive 5th gear. The TH400 is 1:1. A friend of mine with a 5-speed...
I've heard that argument that 'Oh my God, propane is flammable.' You have 15+ gallons of gasoline being pumped to the engine pay at high...
Raemin emin I checked some data. Propane is a much SMALLER molecule than R12 or R134a: - Propane MW = 44 - R12 MW = 121 - R134a MW = 101...
Thanks, Raemin for filling in the details.
Propane is an alternate to R134a. It is compatible with both R12 and R134a oil. You use about half the weight. Ken
Esben Sorry, I gave all my data with car when sold. There are different number of pins, each with its own part #. I got mine from Algar years...
The harness side connectors are available from F dealers and the little flimsy metal end pieces too. Charing means high amp load e.g. fuel pump...
Yes, the large screws are only used if the left and right side cannot be balanced at idle; it bypasses the throttle plate. Use the normal...
I believe the wire at the brake light switch is on the ground and therefore not "hot". I had Kinkos print a D-size wiring diagram; in 16 years I...
Esben Welcome to the world of 400i's! Most issues I had in 16 years were electrical. I hope you are young and flexible enough to spend time...
The larger mirrors are Volvo parts and were used on the earlier Series 1 400i's. Hence availability. I believe the door switch is from a 318...
71Vette We may have something in common. I owned and self-maintained an '84 400i Auto for 16 years. I finally got too old and creaky to maintain...
For 16 years with my '84 400i Auto, I would start with shifter in second. With the TH400, you can hold it in 1st with the throttle well down,...
If you want to keep the Auto's diff, then you need to have the top gear in the tranny as 1:1, no overdrive. A friend of mine swapped his 5-speed...
No connection to seller! Car is RHD, 400i, Series 1, Auto, silver with light tan interior. [ATTACH]
Its NO RESERVE; current bid $5000. Maybe a parts car; lots of good pieces with some cleanup. Ken
