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.

Kevin, that story sucks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Sorry to hear that. Luckily your 914 is now up and running.
Are OEM points/condenser combined with a Jacobs Coil (or an equivalent high output coil) an option? Or a new Bosch blue coil? IMHO the advantages of electronic ignition over the standard ignition are marginal, unless you have cold (winter) conditions. Electronic ignition is supposed to be maintenance free (with a Hall or optical sensor instead of points). Inadequate maintenance of the standard ignition is more likely the problem for many classic car owners. Multiple-spark electronic ignition would produce some (small) gain in torque/power, but the whole engine set-up must be optimal from the start to make it noticeable. Other suggestions: I have seen people using the electronic ignition from a VW Bus type 4 engine with good result; will require modifications on the distributor or a complete exchange. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Something to get from a wrecking yard; don't forget to get the wiring as well. Good luck, Anton |
