Re: The New, Newer Project Part Tres...
I found a vintage set of AC R44TS triple green striped insulator, spark plugs on ebay. I got them for $14 from someone selling estate stuff from an old garage. I installed them today, replacing the recent AC R44TS set that was put in there a couple years ago. The car runs noticeably smoother. (Probably because one or two of the plug wires were not fully seated on the plugs to begin with).
The plugs I pulled out all had nice tan insulators and appeared to be burning nicely. The one thing I noticed was that the vintage green stripe plugs have a 3/8" shorter insulator than the modern versions. Anyone have any idea why they made the modern ones longer?

Re: The New, Newer Project Part Tres...
Rick Fedexed me his typewritten 16 page biography of the car today so I would have it for the show next week. He even signed, notarized and had it bound into a booklet for me.
What a guy! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: The New, Newer Project Part Tres...
Rick is still looking. His wife is in charge of the photo archives.
Rick took some photos of the car in 1973 when he brought it to a BMW club event and irritated the heck out of his former BMW buddies. (He sold his BMW and bought the SD because the new fuel injected BMW he wanted was way too expensive and the dealer wouldn't budge on the price).

Re: The New, Newer Project Part Tres...
I was scanning some of the original documents from the car to get ready for the MCACN show next week. I found this interesting item. It's the original order blank. In reading it I see that Rick originally ordered both the black vinyl/stainless steel body side moldings and the vinyl multicolor tape stripe, but neither were installed on the car on the assembly line.
