Coming out of lurk mode since I bought another 914. I bought the car (71 1.7) non-running and it's my first fuel injected 914 so it should be an education to get it going.

Question is, how much end play (axial play) should the distributor shaft have and what sets the clearance? I'm troubleshooting a no spark condition.

Thanks

I just went through the 'non-start' issue, and what did it for me was testing the coil with the points closed and with them open. Once I did that and verified that it all worked, I discovered that the points werent set right. Also, cleaning them made a huge difference in the voltage at the coil.
