Not a Sixer myself, but just curious as to what the purpose was for providing a floor mounted throttle lever within inches of the gas pedal on the 914-6s?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Carburated Porsches of that vintage do not have a cold start warm up, which is why there is a hand throttle, that can also be used as sort of a analog cruise control of sorts.

I used to understand why these are there, but have lost the knowledge. Know that my '70 911E (MFI) had it. My '73 911t CIS has it. Particularly confused as to why the "T" has it, since it has a cold start injector? Pat |
