Re: B200 E running like @#$%

Cold engine, moisture in air-> missfire in the intake -> blown airfilter and a big split on the plastic tube that connects the air filter cas...

Re: Starter motor differences B19 / B200

Hi Tom, on my 1986 GLT b200e I have mounted the starter from my ex b19. It`s a perfect fit, althought the b19 one is smaller.
