the shade hids the 1,000,000 chips scratches and small dings...
the car was rained on about 10 times with no tray...hence all the surface rust on the tin..
be back in a few hours w/ more when its cleaned up
Jared
Uhhh... why does it have an ECU AND carbs?
the ecu is not connected, I hope...god help me...
Jared
bring it over someday, i have a whole shlew of parts you may need looks good
you will either love her or hate her when you get done.
whats with the 2 big hoses? the fuel lines def need some attention. you can make it look like this. plan, plan, plan. THEN attack.

i hate being so redundant. take that car in and have it PROFESSIONALY cleaned on the bottom before you do anything. save yourself a week or 2, you can thank me later. the rockers come off my car next week and it's going in.

wow, good engine bay. you KNOW what's involved when you start with this stuff. thats an interesting sp wire run. where do those come from? remote cooler... 2270? the whole engine deal is sparking my interest. where is the throttle spring for the xbar arm?
kevin
where is the throttle spring for the xbar arm?
In my experience, they aren't required. When I have run Webers, I install the update kit and end up with a right and left carb. Dellortos comr right and left handed.

I actually just fired my car last week and I hope not to use a spring, I don't like heavy pedal pressure.
I have a question conserning my linkage though. When I reinstalled I placed the crank on top and reversed the cranks on the carbs so they open when were pushed down. The geometry is better but I don't like the fact that the springs on the carbs have to support the wieght of the liknage.
Does any know the Best way to set this up?
That's my oil cooler just behind the top carb Kevin, There is a 900cfm fan that will pull air out of the ebay into the fender well.
springs are on the carbs....hex/x linkage just works against both carbs's springs
i couldn't figure out what else was removed. the lid springs. does the bat location prevent stowing the top? i wonder if you pass tech @ the ax up here without a positive return spring.
kevin
is that an oil cooler where the battery used to live?
Yes that is where the bat was, I had a lot of rust there.
The top fits no problem with the bat in the trunk, and yes the a-x inspectors did remark on my lack of a spring last year but they did not make me run one.
OK GUYS PICTURES and VIDEO IN one hour (ISH) The car looks soooo different...in person...lol. Buffed and waxed for about two hours, and a friend gutted all the carpet and scrubed all the interior and rear trunk...starting the front, just got back from El Gordito...last carne asada burrito till I get back from basic training...I leave Wednesday!!! Starting the front trunk and gas tank...so so little rust. The worst was in the engine compartment around tray, and even that was not too bad...pics soon....
Jared

looking good!
Be careful in basic!
allllright. you showed us bikini shot's, let's see the cellulite. what's the paint code on the door jam plate? you can fix the fuel lines w/ about $15 worth of this hose, and some of these (just buy a doz save the trip). i would suggest you get it off the tin. use a real 914 filter. forget those little paper ones for beetles. you should be smiling. get off the computer and go for a drive.

ok does this sound right L047??? Nighthawk Black?? as for the fuel line..no time, its going in storage for six months tomorrow, when I get back, (will be stationed back in south cali) will have motor rebuilt professional and have them go through entire engine bay and all the electronics...has a stuck valve, piston #3 is not firing....
Jared
need an oem jack?.
kevin
yep, why what you have in mind?
Jared
dude.....look sweet. are you driving it? if so, bring it by my house. looks nice. we can go for a drive
I have been puting around my neighborhood and I took a quick jaunt on this fun little road behind my house..but thats it..No insurance on it yet...not till done with basic man. But when I get back, I will have the motor rebuilt during my vacation and we should meet up then. I dinno...
Jared
(tired woke up at six this morning and spent a long ass time cleaning...)
wtf is that hose doing there on the right????
thats the hole for the timing light!
looks like it goes to the front charcoal canister,
if it's the intake-line, it should be connected to the fanshroud vent,
if it's the return, it should go to a carb ...
just remove the whole damm thing. you won't pass smog anyways ...
nice car

the hose prob spews the the vapor all over the bottom of the car/engine. poor guy buy's a car and ships out for the armed services in a week for 6 months. let's all wish him well.
kevin
And you guys call yourself 914 experts, that's the radiator hose, only it pumps air instead of water. It's a new high tech low volume, low pressure setup. You laugh now, but you'll be standing in line to get one soon!
Steve
oh I want to get home...Maryland is miserable...5 more weeks and I am back in Cali...waking up at 430 for pt when its 35 outside sucks..peace out ...
Jared
Just as long as you don't call it blackie!
Nice work man, $2.5k is okeedokee.
