Check your throttle cable and the linkages. Mine was hanging up and doing the exact same thing you describe.

I am looking for a passenger side fog light bucket for an '85 M635. It has part # 491.01.107.61 ZKW stamped on the inside. Mine got trashed when a mounting pin broke. The whole unit came loose and everything was dragging, the lens was ripped out and the bucket was hanging on by the wires. It got dra...

Check out Brad Penn's Classic Gear Oil. Its all I use in older Getrags. PennGrade Multi-Purpose 'Classic' GL-4 SAE 80W-90 Gear Oil The SAE 80W-90 is specially blended using high quality PennGrade mineral base stocks and select additive technologies. It is designed to be used with "yellow" ...

I just installed some spherical bearings from Moosehead and these things are great. I was using urethane UCABs and they were trashed (25k miles) so the immediate improvement was obvious. After putting a few miles on them, they have a firm feel without the metal on metal harshness I feared. They feel...

I just redid the exhaust on my M635. I ran two inch pipes from the headers to a Billy Boat exhaust can. It sounded great except at idle where it was too loud. I tried an X pipe as close to the headers as I could get and now its perfect. At idle it is much quieter and the sound in the cabin while dri...

Check around the spark plugs. Water always seems to get under those rubber boots and settles down by the spark plugs. I use a piece of tubing hooked up to my air compressor to blow the water out.

I use Brad Penn Classic in my M635. Its specifically designed for the metals found in older Getrag transmissions.

I just calculated my fuel consumption over the last two tankfuls after using the manometer and averaged 16.6 miles per gallon. That is up from 14.3!

You are correct that your injectors are high impedance. I think the switch over happened some time in 1985. My car is a January 85 build and it uses low impedance. Good idea to rebuild the current set and keep as a backup.

Big E! I have had those little blue caps for years but i never felt worthy in putting them on. Now, proudly I shall mount them! We need to get together soon!

There is a really smart guy over on mye28.com named Dean who built a Manometer for synchronizing individual throttle bodies. I used it yesterday on my M635 and it works better than I could have imagined. Here is my engine before sync: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x91Dia4SblA&feature=em-upload...

I have ordered several sets from these folks. Great quality and they are located right outside of Charlotte. Their customer service is outstanding!

I just spent most of the day working on my exhaust so I can appreciate the fabrication. That is some nice work!

HondaPartsNetwork.com had them for $4.01 apiece. They are very high quality, much heavier than 1157s from the auto parts store.

I just installed some of these Honda bulbs in my M635. I put them in the brake lights, rear fog lights, and blinkers. They are noticeably brighter than the 1157 bulbs they replaced. Also, I checked them after an hour and they do not get hot. This is a terrific upgrade, highly recommended!

Anything with a high zinc content. I use Brad Penn but the other brands mentioned are also high in zinc. Any of them will be fine. However, if your cars are running good and not burning any oil, I would stick with what you have been using.

Mojocoggo is right. There is a lubricant I bought on eBay that is specifically made for this type of conversion. I used when I replaced my condenser years ago and have not had any problems with it. Fill it up with the oil and r134 and you will be fine.

I tried to order a euro rear spoiler from Max a couple of months ago and, even though it is listed on their website, it is no longer available.

Brad Penn classic gear lube, nothing else!

I recently developed a weird no start issue too. I thought it was a hot start problem. I could get it started with brake cleaner if I had to. I was sure it was a hot start problem until my hand slipped off the key as I was cussing and trying to get it started one time after getting gas. It fired up ...

I bought one of these from Bert for my M635 and it is terrific. I will be at Sharkfest if anyone wants to see one installed.
