I'm in the Temecula area of SoCal and want to weigh my 914 to see how much weight I gained going to a water cooled 6. The only place I can think of is the county dump which is 45 min's away. Any tips? And, does anyone know the curb weight of a 73 2.0, no AC? BTW, was the factory curb weight figured wet?

But..... I've read that truck scales are not very accurate as the are at the fringe of their range.
The are more accurate at the meat of their range around 20k and not as accurate at the fringe weights of 2k. So give or take a larger margin. 100? 200? Lbs off? Race scales would be more designed for a light weight vehicle |

Ross, I'll let you know the weight. Monkeyboy, is that weight for a stock 73 2.0 ? |

I drove it to the Goodguys show in Del Mar a couple of years ago since we did not get my dad's Fairlane running in time. We know the guys from Ridetech and they had their scales out there weighing cars. |
