I was flipping through some old magazine articles that i have and was looking at a photo that i have looked at a hundred times. When it struck me that they chopped up the CIS system to fit in the #13 916. The article is fro the 1987 July/August VW& Porsche magazine page 49. The article claims that they replaced the original six with a 3.0 SC motor. My scanner is not working at this time so I can't post a picture. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Does any one else have the picture they can post? I am in the process of putting a 2.7 with CIS and wondering if what they did looks as crazy as I think. or maybe it is a simple way of getting it all to fit?
In the picture it looks like they cut the air boot in half moved the sensor plate and fuel distributor turning it clockwise and connected the two with a metal box??? Leaving the latch in place I will try and get the photo scanned to post. |

yeah sorry i was talking about rain getting into the trunk. After i wrote that I realized I don't plan on driving it on rainy days but around here you never know sunshine when you leave for work no rain in the forcast and rain on the way home from work. I already removed the rain tray, i knew from other post and pictures that the CIS would not fit with it in place. It was cracked and had a hole in it were the P.O. had put the wrong size battery and closed the lid.
As for the hatch, you mentioned you were cleaning up the paint and it looked like the vacum tube "seal" left marks in the picture. I was planning on covering the entire trunk area with the same type of material of the trunk mat like the 916 has. So i would not have to worry about any marks on the paint from the rubber seal around the "hatch". Plus my car is black so that would help with the rubber marks if any. thanks for the tip on the caps |
