First timer: I have a 1978 320i, 2.0 litre, egr, jetronic, points, 4 speed buggy with 100,000 miles. I've changed distrubutor points to electronic. Greatly improved performance. She burns oil and transmission leaks.
Two weeks ago i bought a rebuilt engine complete, tranmission, new starter, new alternator, shifter, wiring harnesses,instrument cluster, lights, gas pump, etc from a "Kit Car" guy. Great guy. The donator was a 1983 320i , 1.8 litre, oxigen sensor, different injector system, electronic ignition, 5 speed with 110,000 miles. I also understand that the stater, alternator,fuel pressure, radiator, drive shaft are not interchangable. if someone has been on this journey before, please help clearify what is worth intergrating into the 1978. Thanks in advance for your time.
