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. |

11 Documented Factory 916's with Steel Roofs.
1 more that was made at the Factory for a Porsche employee on a real 914-6 (over 50 pages of documentation). I used to get to drive this car quite a bit at Sebring. It had a blue leather interior including the roll-bar cover. I ( Bob Snodgrass and myself) had a chance to buy it after the owner took it apart, left it outside to rust and alot of the 916 parts went missing - I passed. It is still in Florida, back together, but missing alot of the good stiff. Also there was a 914-6 made at the Factory in 76, that some people call a 916, but to me it's just an unique 914-6. Then there are some re-creations, at least one that is in a Museum in Europe that claims to be an original, but is not. T.C. |
