Add some engine pix please.

If you do any body work (doesn't look like it's needed) delete the rear side markers..

Upgrading my Alternator - any Problems

I'm thinking of upgrading my stock 88amp alternator for my 1984 633 with a 150 amp from an M6. Any electrical or fitment problems? Any connector non compatibility?

I may down the road upgrade my headlights..

Thanks for the advise/comments in advance.

Ron,
Looks great. But how do you clean the raised sections without getting the residual wax/polish in the wrinkles?
Is the powder coating "scrubable" with a soft brush?

Would an exhaust analyser at an emissions test station work for that? Scott - please add your location to your profile to help us.

I wonder if a dyno tuning shop would also have the right equipment.....

Is it stock height? And what is that thing behind the front wheel well?

BTW, there are a boatload of pics earlier in the thread that were "moved or deleted"

It may seem silly, but put someone in the trunk and ride over RR tracks to try to isolate the sounds.
As dumb as it may seem, do you have the spare tire really tight? Leave it and the jack and other "junk in the trunk" out the next test ride.

Some dude named carandtruckmanuals is parting out a shark

He doesn't have a specific listing only that it is a 1983 633CSI. So if you search on his ebay name you may find the listing which was for a turn signal flasher relay.

Chris,
Thanks for the pic. Found the flasher on the right side of the column as the left side had the silver horn relay. Now I'm off to find that $5.95 Meyle flasher.
Cheers!

Does the rear seat pop out as a unit or are there separate units?

Do I need to remove the seats to get to the top of the shock towers for a shock replacement. If I don't is it just as easy to do a shock replacement?

I've got inop turn signals and emergency flasher. They light up but don't flash..(vin_6997510) 1984 633. If my relay/flasher is under the kick panel or steering column (per Chris above) how do I get access to that area. Do I drop the knee panel- (I see screws here) or the steering column (no screws)...
