Apparently I was waiting for something before I started a thread for work on my 914-6. Whatever - the car stopped turning over while I was between mechanics and wound up sitting with a dead PermaTune box for a couple years. Better late than never, I'll start the thread now...
It's a factory 914-6 that was modified and repainted before I got it. Steel slant-nose, Brembo GT brakes up front, old fronts moved to the rear (and original rears long gone), 3.0 liter SC motor with Webers, 6 & 7 x 16 Fuchs from an '86 Carrera, etc. Started out in Signal Orange, but it's been through at least two color changes since then (white, then black). And as of late May 2012, the odometer has just clicked over 00,000 miles (believed to be the first time based on included paperwork). VIN # 914 043 2486 Orig Engine # 64? ???? (need to order COA) Trans # 750 2505 Karmann body # 132566 (stamped inboard of lock, floor of rear trunk) Here's the standard shot of the car from pictures taken after I took delivery. Edit 8/2014: Added various ID numbers |

This past weekend I did manage to remove the passenger side halfshaft, extract the sheared bolt, inspect and repack both CVs (they're badly worn, but I didn't want to leave the car on stands while I decide what to replace them with), and reinstall the whole thing. Of course I reassembled the CV incorrectly the first time, but who's counting? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (Stupid CV joint tricks thread)
Tonight I confirmed that the bolts that came with the 944 seatbelts will thread into the shoulder mounting point (easiest to check) - I think another thread mentioned there's a US law mandating standard attachment specs. (See Cap'n Krusty here) And that there appears to be the same clearance for the spools/retractors in the backpad in the 1970 -6 as there is in the 1974 -4. However I want to peel back the firewall padding in the engine bay of the -4 to see what the retractor mount is threading into, and figure that into whatever bracket/reinforcement is needed in the -6 before I proceed. Tried to get a signal from the oil pressure sender (incorrectly identified in Post #23) to read on the oil pressure gauge in my 911 oil combo can (can p/n 911.641.103.05), but the needle just sat at 0. I hooked the lugs marked "G" and "Earth ground" from the gauge to the ground point by the engine bay relay board, and the remaining '+' lug to the lug on the sender, but no joy. Not sure that should work, so more reading to be done... Edit 16-Aug-2012: Clarify where I saw the clearance for the seatbelt retractor. |
