BTW, when I paint, I attach an old car A/C condenser to the air system and set it in a tub with several bags of ice. From there it goes to two water separators. After that the air warms up on the way to the paint gun and never gets close to the dew point.

Historically there has been a special NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) rating system for air compressor duty motors. As I recall it's based mostly on starting torque (since air compressors have a very high starting torque requirement) and bears little or no relationship to either power draw or continuous power output of the motor. For instance my "5hp" 115V compressor is rated for use on a regular 15A branch circuit. Since a true 5hp motor would draw some 32A at 115VAC (ignoring power factor and even if it were 100% efficient, which it obviously can't be) it's clear that something doesn't compute. > Incidentally, I just checked, and the Sears branded version of my > compressor (19541) at some point got rerated from 6 to 2hp. Maybe they've got honest about ratings? Naaah, surely can't be that!

Check out Central Letter Shop: http://www.centrallettershop.com/ They carry quite a few BMW technical CDs; they should have the proper TIS.

You're stuck with the microfiche, or finding a paper repair manual. One sold on Ebay a couple of weeks back for $575.00. Then last week, one sold for about $50... Go figure.

Claims it's got a Korman engine, Korman 5spd and Korman suspension. Woohoo. I'm impressed. So he has a 320i that he's sunk 10x the amount of money in that he has any right to, and it might be a little better than stock. Car looks clean, but I'm busy, so I take his number and tell him I'll let him know if anyone expresses interest in the shop. Well, today Kathy and I are helping out with the organization of a July 4th car show and this guy is an entrant..... So I get to take a closer look at the car, with no phones ringing, etc. Car is a genuine 67K mile, metallic green (sorry, can't recall the real name, but it's a pale green metallic) E21. He claims it's got dyno proof of engine work. It also has gold BBS wheels (period correct) shod with A008s. It has the 320iS Recaro seats, it's a 5spd, and is in virtually perfect condition. Now, I haven't been under the car, but the paint, interior and engine bay are as close to perfect as one could have expected on the dealer lot in 1979, so this might be a great buy for any E21 enthusiasts out there. He's asking $4K for the car. Drop me an email if you might be interested, and I'll put you in touch with the owner. Not my deal, I don't need to be involved, just the messenger. It's in Cleveland, Ohio.

Mine was a fully documented pristine single-owner (before me) California car but with 214K miles, and I added suspension goodies but no built engine. That car was sandwiched in December 2004 and I still miss it. Maybe I should call Brett... ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(7 messages) **********
