Yesterday I really finished it.

Funny how well it runs when the cam timing isn't 10 degrees retarded. Insta-rocket.

*facepalm*

Unnecessary new parts installed prior to finding the incorrect timing: Plugs, wires, distributor cap, distributor rotor, coil, crank sensor, oxygen sensor, idle stabilization valve, air flow meter (actually bad, at least), throttle position sensor, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, air filter, valve cover + intake manifold + throttle body gaskets. A new fuel pump was sitting in my garage waiting for installation.

That might be all, though I'm probably forgetting something. It certainly doesn't include the elective suspension upgrades .

Of course, since I replaced virtually every wear item that was even close to out of spec, this may be the best running E34 535i in the world right now. And the E34 535i 5-spd is arguably the best all-round BMW ever made. And BMW is unarguably the company that defined and perfected the sports sedan. And sports sedans are arguably the perfect all-round cars. So this may be is the best car on earth right now.

And a 3.64 limited-slip differential is still sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. :)

Here is how the 7r3v-9h307-af wiring harness should be connected (the harness that comes with the M-9407-GT05 kit). The kit doesn't come with any instructions and nothing is labeled to help us figure it out....bummer
