Easy 2.2l 6cyl upgrade recommendations? Options

[tornik550]

I recently purchased a 1970 911 e 2.2l engine with zenith carbs for a 6 conversion. I mainly am going to use it for spirited street driving. Are there any easy upgrades that I need to do prior to installing the engine? Any easy performance upgrades?

I doubt Mallory makes a distributor for that engine. You'd be better off keeping the original Bosch one.

The distributors back then were different between engines. The E, S, and T each had their own advance mechanism. You'll want to keep the "E" distributor. You'll also want to take it out of the engine and make sure that the advance mechanism works properly. Almost all of my 911's had sticking mechanisms when I got them. Take the two screws out that hold the Bakelite plate in place and look at the advance mechanism weights and springs underneath. It needs to freely move or your engine will not run right.
