So this is your basic system. I would suspect the firewall connections as you have intermittent connections shown in your testing of voltages and amps. That would be a reason for no headlights if now power gets to switched on. Run a good sized jumper from alt + to battery + and see what you get...

I am 66 in June sporting a 416 340 H code duster. I saw a lot in high school with lots of guys putting in cams and manifolds and headers and racing on Wingville road. Like you say, the guys would not even look you in the eye or race, but then you would hear the stories on Monday. And these kids...

Thats a good one. All those cars with the ponies on them need to be put in their place.

Many times while in my modified duster at a light some vehicle will pull next to me, even pick-ups and ricers, and start revving their crap. I usually pay no mind. If it’s one of those two door fords with the Shetland Pony on it, then I’ll let them leave the light first and then slow back down...

All of the BMW heads with the old school head gaskets in the late 70’s and early 80’s I took off, I used a new razor blade or 2 and a sanding block after.

I think the clearance is perhaps only slightly tight. The clearance allows for proper oil flow. And certainly the modern oils of today are better, and flow better than the oils from the era of these engines, which can allow for smaller clearances.

So, this how to fix your clearance. Looks like if you use the next size (as explained in the text) bearing (important - installed all in the same position) that you will get the 2-2 1/2 clearance that you want.

Glad you found bad alt. Need a good power supply for all to work. Musta felt good to drive the Duster after 20 some years.

Did you get your Ramcharger fixed? Seemed to me that that the fusible links would be the first place to go as Garret was suggesting. I also have had issues with my 85 Ramcharger in those fusible links that I repaired a few years ago. I thought about putting in fuse box under hood, but have not...

So, did you get the leak repaired or find the problem?

I have worked at dealerships. When you check your car in at the dealer. Usually there is a “lot boy” who parks the car out in service lot after check in, it is not uncommon for a mechanic to come and look at a car during check in to get more info on what needs to happen with a car and let the...

I think that the broke off piece will make little difference. On a high hp vehicle the bell housing could fail. Better to get another block/engine. By the way, I worked exclusively on BMW for 25 years in dealerships and independent shops. I saw more bad work (and fixed it) at dealerships , than...
