164e: hot-start problem and slow power window 140-160 1975

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve MacSween on  Wed Oct 16 06:24 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Greetings, all. My '75 164e is back on the road after being sidelined for almost a year as I worked on other stuff... now I have to work out a couple of bugs I had lived with previously.

First, my hot-start problem is getting worse, despite new injectors and injector seals. The car behaves like a carbureted car with a heat-sink (vapour lock) problem, when you try to start it after it sits for around 10-20 minutes -- even in relatively cold ambient temps. Right now I figure that either an electric engine fan conversion (with a thermoswitch to run it with the vehicle off) or a small auxilary cooling fan (as used on some Audis for the same problem) would be the best solution. Any thoughts?

Any hope for speeding up an electric window lift (driver's) that gets arthritic halfway up? Or am I into a new motor (again)?

Will early 80s 200-series manual window regulators fit the 164? I know that post-79 power regulators won't, correct?

TKS
