Looks like it changed from year to year....I think the one's installed in the trunk deck were aftermarket...but can't be sure.

Pretty sure it was 4. Two in the front doors and two in the rear panels on the sides. It would be easy enough to run for 6 though if you used the trunk lid sides to support the speakers.

Need a bit more info. The EFI is still L-Jet right?

Have you checked the fuel pressure at the rail?

Have you touched the AFM potentiameter?

Known good the AAV valve, cold start injector and thermo-time switch, right?

Alright, looks a bit different than what I though. It is an actual flap that can recess into the manifold under high load. Its not a tornado design at all...but here is a link. It's really quite interesting.

Seems simple enough.

Doesn't Mercedes and Dodge use something like the 'Tornado'? I know its factory developed and all, but isn't the vortex concept the same? I think they call them tumble flaps or something. I think they retract or something at high RPM...but don't remember. Low RPMs good...high RPMs bad? Am I complete...

Play nice...its an honest question....a bit uberrzealous (i invent words)...but honest. I'm sure we have a ton of archives from the old board if you go to the main page and access them from there. It would be nice to have a consolidated and easily accessable guide to building a, for lack of better w...

I'm sure its all dealt with in JimG's new book....maybe he can give us an excerpt or two...

Since, i'll be rebuilding a 164L motor for my GTV6 i'll be interested in this as well.

Andy's great! Got my flywheel lightened and a performance clutch unit from him. Fantastic Place, and great Services!

Hmm...the anti-seize would have been a good idea!!! Doh!

Just did mine...and i used a special technique called the "snatch and grab" technique. It involved yanking the wheel off as straight as possible. I would not recommend hitting the center spindle with a hammer or anything to break because you'll trash the threads.

I should have a Milano AFM which should work fine. PM me and we'll discuss. Starter is beneath the exhaust manifold on the passenger side. You must remove the manifold and heat shield to get the starter. It's not a terribly hard job, but mangling with exhaust never tops my job list on a weekend. Rob

Couldn't add the block pics in the original post so I'm uploading them here. It's real pretty and already balanced.

I have a complete 164 that I am parting out. Please email me with parts requests. I may be a little slow on shipment the car is in central VA and I am up in Northern VA. In addition I have a set of rear seats for a Milano and a full set of Milano Doors with glass and mirrors. The doors would make se...

Got these from our good friend Peter W. And got the lugs from Charlie DiMarco at serperntautosport.com. Charlie's great, DHL had a huge mishap with the shipping and Charlie was on top of it. Best customer services I've ever had! These are the Team Dynamics DTM's from what Peter said, I guess the Pro...
