Mike,
I gotta'learn to read, as I didn't notice that you were a BMW Master Tech before I started to blab on post #3, sorry. Gregg, my son, and I are ASE master techs and it took me an hour to get him straight on doing the dist & setting the timing 'cause it's all bass-ackwards from his old muscle car drag racer. He couldn't understand WHY the switch cuts the power between the coil & the dist??? Told him, "I don't know, I didn't design the damn thing!"
Smarts ass remarks are part of this blog, GREAT fun, and we all learn a lot!
