Yes , it has the overdrive too. Found it languishing in a garage for 16 years. Quite a mess but worth saving since it was a rare PI car. I don‘t think there is a part of that car that I havn’t held in my hand… Did you hear the Roadster Factory burned to the ground Christmas night? A real tragedy.

Great cars. Have had a number of them since I was 17. Did a frame off rstoration and have owned this special PI version for 30 years...

I use Costco marine batteries. I believe they are manufactured by Interstate. Reasonably priced and better warranty than most. We all know how great Costco is with returns. I have 7 cars and every one of them has a Costco/ Kirkland brand battery. Not unusual for them to last 10 years. I am very...

I have experienced siezed/stripped plugs in the past on car engines. I have never actually removed the plugs from a boat engine.

1.5 jugs of Dexcool mixed 50/50 with distilled water/ engine

I did this a few weeks ago. Disconnected the lowest cooling system hose and drained into a container. Messy. Judging by the amount that came out , removed about 80%. Removing block drain plugs can cause a whole set of other problems.

The scammers have infected this site. I had a WTB on a kidney panel cover and was scared off by the actions of a supposed seller. I get so tired of this shite. Last night one of my dockmates told me about his 93 yr old father being scammed out of $150k last week. Hoping there is a special place...

If coolant is leaking into cylinders you will get a "milkshake" look on your oil dipstick. It doesn't take a lot of coolant getting into oil to make it obvious. As copb8tx said , keep an eye on your clear coolant resevoirs to make sure your coolant level is not decreasing. If your dipstick oil...

How old are the spark plugs?

These things are a PITA. Been there , done that. Just a tip for when you try and fire her up again...I had a very hard time priming my new CFM. Tried all sorts of stuff but what finally worked was bleeding the fuel rail via the schrader valve when you turn the fuel pump on. Might have to cycle...

NHD yes , my go to is usually go big or go home so I was leaning toward the 12K. I'm in Southern Ontario where it gets into the 30's but not usually for extended periods of time. There is a screaming 40-50% off deal on Webasto 6k 10k 12k 16k units right now with free shipping so since my Dometic...

anyone know what the gph of this pump is? Despite internet search I am unable to find the number. It's the original pump for the Dometic 12K unit.

Thanks Sgrochow I have a 12000BTU unit now also. In your opinion would a 10000BTU unit be sufficient?

NHD Thank you for your input

Has anyone done this relatively recently? I'm considering a Webasto Webasto 5011398A for my 2006 340. Any problems or advice?
