    Cut down motor mount in Series V

    I'm converting my single circuit braking system to a dual circuit, but the intake manifold strikes the brake master cylinder. I plan to reduce the height/thickness of a motor mount but am unsure of the best way to do it. Anybody have a suggestion? Thanks, Chuck Edwards

    Speedometer cable turns per mile

    I installed an OD transmission. The push test was only to determine speedo cable TPM. When we got the car in 2003 the speedo didn't work because of transmission problems.

    Remove door lock - Series 5

    I want to remove the exterior door handle, but right now I'm inside the door. A metal rod connects the lock cylinder in the outside handle with the door latch mechanism. I can't see how to "unhook" the metal rod. Has anyone done this? Thanks, Chuck

    Ignition Help!!!

    I had a similar trouble and found that the engine was not properly grounded. I added a dedicated grounding strap from the block to the chassis, and the engine fired. Keep smiling.
