I heard about a 912 for sale cheap locally. The guy told me one of the carbs needs work.... I'm thinking this must have had the F.I. removed.... Weren't all these F.I. like 914's or were the early ones carbed?

Rick:
Currently rebuilding a 68 912 myself...Dubious history car, but...It has Weber 40 IDF's on it...Just had them rebuilt by the guys in Salt Lake City (Air Cooled Engineering)...They look brand new...Can't wait to complete the motor and get em' fired up... But, I was amazed at the difference between the quality and detail of the engine cases...The VW one looks like it was poured into a paper mache mold and removed before it was hard...The Porsche one is detailed and well finished... I actually like this 912 as much or more than the 914...Don't tell anyone I said that... 2-OH! |
