nditiz1's mediocre 6 conversion, SOLD at auction, off to a new home Options

[nditiz1]

Hey all - not sure if you all were aware that I have been in the middle of a conversion build since last year. Well the time finally came, or should I say a fire under my butt, to get me to push for a completion. By completion I mean a running/driving 6. Quick back story. Bought the car from a member 74 2.0. Already had glass flares, 5 lug, and an overheating engine. Dropped that out as I had a 2.7 waiting to be finished. Collected parts for the engine. Collected parts for the conversion. Sat back and waited for it to build itself, it didn't. Finally bought my tix for Okteenerfest so now I'm forced to get it done in time. I recently posted up an extensive to do list.

She won't be a show winner, but she may just get me there.

Here is the current state of affairs.

2.7 - ITB twin plug EFI

Have to address this rust I cut out before I can mount the tank.

She drove decent, but could be better.

She sounds good. More tuning needs to be done. I'm going lean as I accelerate. A few more runs with the fuel table will hopefully clear that out. My brakes are sad. I have to double pump it to get a firm pedal. I did not touch the fronts as the reservoir never let air in. I believe they are 911 brakes up front. I'm pretty sure I have the rears (NOS) dialed in, but maybe they need more bleeding. They were adjusted to PMB spec.

I'm now debating the trailer idea. While it would be sweet to cruise down in it, I'd rather make it down to the event then break down. It's about 9 hrs. I'm stopping in Hendersonville on the way down Thursday. If I can get a good trip around here under the belt maybe I will drive the teener from there. Wish it was sorted as much as my 77 Targa. I could jump in that tomorrow without a tool kit and get to CA with no problems.
