Sheesh, what a time to be stranded from my computer for two weeks. Been on vacation and furlough for a bit now, and finally took over dad's computer tonight to get some much needed help from you guys! Here's the timeline of any issues that may or may not be related. Second week of January - Noticed gas mileage dropping drastically in my 240, from approximately 24 mi. per gal to 18 mi. per gallon, and also heard my car backfire for the first time (should also mention that it did it multiple times after that first time) in the year that I have had it. Somewhere around Jan 16th or 17th, my starter stuck one morning when I was ready to leave for work. It was humming even aft…

How do you determine a E33 from a N36 manifold? Is there a set place where they are marked?

I just spent all day pulling off 72 SUs & E88 cylinder head off my parts car, then doing water pump+fan belt+spark plugs+condenser+cap+rotor on my car.Now after all this I realize I forgot to mark my distributor cap with the numbers of the spark plug wires.... I know the firing order from the Haynes manual, but nowhere do I see any indication as to which post corresponds to #1 cylinder. Can someone help me please? THanks. -e

Ok so I've had my 73 240 for a week now- the first problem, a fuel leak proved to be no big deal, and took seconds to fix- happy me, untill..... For gawd knows what reason, my windscreen wipers have jammed- one second they're doing fine, then they slow then- stuck. Wont respond to the switch, and can't be forced one way or the other, I'm hoping this is some famous 240 quirk, and maybe ther's some trick to it but the previous owner- a decent guy- has no idea. Can anybody help?

While driving in heavy traffic my 260 starts sputtering. At first i thought maybe it was a cooling problem, but my gauges all read cool. This only happens at idle or near idle in usually warmer weather. I have 71' SUs. Any suggestions? Thanx

Hi All. Any clues on this one? Through trial and error with the radio out, I see that my blue radio light is very bright when the parking lights are on and the key off. But it goes very dim once the key is switched to "On". Any ideas why? Key Off, Lights On = Radio Light On Key On, Lights ON = Radio Light very dim I took the radio out to refurbish it and replace its lamp so I'm doing these test with it unmounted but plugged in. Could that be the problem too, maybe it should be mounted and grounded to work properly?. Incidentally, the dash dimmer is set to the brightest position. BTW, Testors Florescent Red paint is perfect for repainting the orange radio indicator. T…

Head light

Hey there, My driver's side head light is not as bright as the passenger side. I replaced both lights about 5 months ago. And this problem occured last week. I checked the headlights themselves by swapping left to right, right to left and the passenger side works perfect. I have cleaned the contacts on the connector plugs (the one to the bulb and the one by the horn). The light stays the same, no matter if high beam or low beam it stays wizz yellow. Besides trying to backtrack the wiring and making sure all contacts are clean, not to mention trying to find where the wire's go. Is there anything anybody can suggest? Thanks, ED
