Just picked up a 72 914-4. It's in good structural shape, and pretty complete. I'm waiting on kits to come to rebuild the calipers, and have been going over ignition and vacuum lines. It starts easy and idles ok but won't rev past about 2200 (3000) with air cleaner off. Hoping to get time to check some sensors ect as outlined in book I have by Dr 914 next week. Will write more later.

Smithsburg huh? I'm in Leitersburg. Didn't think there were more than a half dozen Porsches in Washington County at any given time... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Smithsburg huh? I'm in Leitersburg. Didn't think there were more than a half dozen Porsches in Washington County at any given time... Mine just happens to be sitting on jackstands right now on the outskirts of Leitersburg on my parents carport waiting on parts for the caliper rebuilds. I'm debating right now if I should even fool with the injection or just swap on Webers and a Mallory distributor since those are things I'm familiar with. I'd like to keep the injection but I'm not convinced its reliable enough for a daily driver yet. (250-300 miles a week). Here's what I know - previous owner had little info for me. Owner before told him it had 2.0 kit no details. PO had taken car to a mechanic friend who had it for about a year to get it running no real recolection on what was done other than New injectors. He got it back running but roughly. So I need to Identify exactaly what is there I guess so I know where to Set the valves ect. |
