Tips for bleeding the coolant system

[Teaguer]

Even though I've owned 2 E34's I'm not really sure how the ft exhaust compares to the E36 set-up .
I can still show you what to do on the E36 though and you can understand what has to be done .

Just hang it with coathangers or something to test fit .
That should work .

So your harness is from a E34 also ?
Any differences between it and the AKG pin chart for the E36 ?
I have 2 e34 harnesses right now and a friend and myself might tear into one of them this weekend .
We were thinking (hoping) that the pin locations were the same and it was just the wire colors that would be differ from the E36 .

Yeah the 3.25 seems to be the ticket with that trans .
I'm thinking only the 535 came with that ratio .
And of course the 535is would have the LS .

I'm sure you could find one around town .
Try pick-n-pull on Loop-12 and I-30 .

Last night I tried test fitting it by myself. Looks like it will bolt right on and clear the swaybar fine. I'll try it again this weekend when I have a buddy over to hold up the other end of the exhaust. Looks like the exhaust bolts to the bottom of the transmission. There is a bracket on the down pipes and 2 threaded holes on the bottom of the transmission. I'd still like to see what your talking about on the E36 in case I run into the same problem.

Yeah my harness is from an E34. I kind of used AKG pin chart as a starting point but I also bought that ORCA cd. Their wiring section kind of sucked and they assume every one is using an 87 325e and an E36 harness from an automatic. My car was a little different because I have the rectangle C101 connector. Orca didn't even address that but AKG did. I ended up making a nice Excel spreadsheet of wire colors, pins, what it does and where it goes. From what I saw all the pin locations were the same and I think some wire colors varied by year. This conversion would seem to be a little easier and cheaper to do on an 88+ car.

I have checked my funds and it seems the checkbook gods are smiling down upon me. I'll run that driveshaft down to Oak Cliff today to get rebuilt.
