FW: [W126 Coupe] functional spoiler?

[Shayegan, Richard]

Sorry to bombard with e-mails but it looks like the 500 and 380 have
mechanical mixture control units, comprised of the air funnel directly
after the air filter, pushing down an air flow sensor plate, which is
fastened to a level, and swivels around a pivot, countered by a
counterweight at the other end of the lever attached to the plate. So,
if I had to guess I would say the 380 and 500 don't have a mixture
control chip.

And isn't there even less on the CIS-E (which is what AFAIK the 500
has)?
  
I thought the 500 had a memory-mapped mixture control (chip)?

Couldn't the same be achieved by turning the fuel mixture adjustment a
little clockwise?
  
No, that would set idle but when the system goes closed-loop, the O2
sensor sets the ultimate mixture. You would have to somehow put a small
voltage in series with the sensor to make the mixture look a couple of
tenths (air/fuel ratio) too lean, and the FI would compensate by going a
little richer.

There is no 750-om spark advance control resistor on the CIS-E though,
right? AFAIK the only way to free up more power from the CIS-E cars for
close to free is the advance the timing like 2 degrees with a woodruff
key, right?
  
I have no idea, learning what my own system does was hard enough. Get
the Bosch book and see what the 500 uses, and how it works. I thought it
used a memory-mapped protocol (see above).
