on the first initial runs the car displayed an annoying, not bad, but annoying, burble near back firing on decel at speed. rechecked dwell. it was high. regaped points. burble went right away and the idle was much smoother. this check with a tach/dwell takes about 30 seconds. when i see postings regarding backfiring, this will allways come to mind.

Thanks Kevin, 58 deg is way too much; I have something like 48 deg.
What probably has happened is that your points have worn off and dwell increased accordingly. It is not unlikely that dwell will soon increase again as the cause has not been addressed, i.e., worn condenser, distributor axis play, or just burned contacts/worn off nodge. Perhaps you should repeat the procedure with new points AND condenser? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Oh, and a Bosch 009 distributor does not have enough advance for a 914; it is more suited for Bugs (type 1 and 3 engines). It is much better to use a (Brazilian) Bosch 050 distributor for Porsche engines. Have fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
