It was engineered to be a tandem reservoir. Newer ones sit on top of the master cylinder. The clutch feed is higher than the brake feed so that the car becomes undrivable before you lose brakes
Make sure to clean up the plastic port after cutting it open

Re: Need help with left tail light/front corner light and blinker electrical issues (fuse 22 blown)
Check your Emergency Flasher Switch. Almost all exterior lighting goes through that switch. Spray some contact cleaner inside if you can
Activate the switch but I do know that the early series 1 switches usually fail and get stuck in the activated position

Re: fuel tank interchangable?
Slight difference in the sender/pump hole location between S1 and S2 fuel tanks. Nothing insurmountable at all. Later tanks are equipped with a screw in drain but they're usually frozen in place

Re: B35 head on Euro B34
Just my opinion, but since you have the pieces to make an actual B34 euro 10:1 motor, I would lean towards that setup. The Hartge head can easily top off your B35 bottom end to make another worthy mill. Parts will interchange but you really gain little by mixing them up. The B35 achieves similar hp ...

Re: 1978 Euro 635CSi rev issues
CTS is located on the thermostat housing on top. Usually Blue, Brown, or Off-White. It provides a Resistamce reading to the ecu. Resistance drops as temperature goes up
Make sure you get the same resistance reading at the sensor and at the ecu connector

To assist in your sale, use the key words Coarse Spline. 85 and earlier e23, e24 and e28 have coarse spline application. Same for e3, e9, e12 so this will work on those as well. And to top it off, the adapter can be changed to allow for fine spline fitment. Price is great. Someone on mye28 is lookin...

You need to specify whether it has Memory function or not. Completely different and not interchangeable.
I do have a couple of the Memory seat modules but they are untested. Good luck

The B35 has high compression pistons. It's the head that has a larger combustion chamber.

I don't have the experience but I've heard that Wideband O2 sensor can provide real-time AFR readings. I would start there as that can tell you when the factory parts have reached their limit
