Wish he begged me to take them. That's a 915 with the Vellios kit. So you have a 911 trans that fits into a 914. Nice score.

Wow, given a velios 915, twin plug ignition and those wheels!
If you want to part with the ignition or wheels...PM me the part number on those wheels, it's possible they could be the type my brother is looking for. |

It had this Electromotive ignition, but was converted to a twin MSD and 12 plug distributor. |

I think you'll need a custom Captain America racing suit.

It had this Electromotive ignition, but was converted to a twin MSD and 12 plug distributor. I can't imagine "converting" crank-fire ignition back to a distributor. I would put the Electromotive back on it. Zotz's Racing uses MSDs in all the 914s they prep. Car starts much better now. I trust Ron Zitza, he is the guru with 914s. Heck he is with all Porsche race cars. |

Heck he is with all Porsche race cars. Yes, I know Ron. Yes, he knows 914s. However, the only reason to re-install a distributor is to comply with class-rules for racing. Otherwise, it's a step backwards. It's not about the MSDs, it's about the difference between crank-fire and distributor-based ignition. |

T Not sure since the car is crewed by Zotz's Racing, I just hop in and drive the piss out it. I'll check when I race at the end of the month. Any other questions you want answered from the crew? |

Nah. Thanks though...no need to ask them any questions. As many a race shop (crew) has often said, "the dummy drives the car...we do the real work!" Not saying this is fitting for you, of course... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)
