Idle repair opinions

I copied this from the Big Coupe Groupe Archive: Idle Improvement - Engine Tuning - Don Eilenberger <deilenberger@monmouth.com> 1. Throw out the Bosch Platinum plugs - they're basically not compatible with this car. Spend about $4/each for the Silver ones that are ESPECIALLY made for just this engin...

Auto trans filter/fluid change

I recently got an 83 633 with a 3HP22 transmission. The car came from a relative and it’s rust free, and in good shape. It has 121,000 miles. I’d like to convert the trans to manual one day, but lots to do before that. The transmission works fine. The fluid is red, and smells fine. Is it advisable t...

Brake bleeding advice

I recently bled the brakes on my ‘83 633, using a Motive power bleeder. The fronts worked fine (done after rears in recommended order). I could never get the rears to stop having small air bubbles.
