Robert -

My first choice for sure - but currently out of my budget.

Know of a better price than $450? Of course I'll take contributions......

Engine quit running on Nov. 10th after running like new on Nov. 3rd with new .060 idle jets and getting carbs dialed in...have spent hours searching for cause because ignition is all new. Today discovered bad dizzy stuck in 27 deg. advance - no wonder she wouldn't start. One spring missing......

Weighing my decision on new dizzy & Pertronix ignitor, dumping points....

Get the 123 Ignition.

Today I did a few small things, I rotated the tires rear to front and the front to rear. Looking at tire wear it’s obvious the fronts had more wear inside than outside, rears were same, so it looks like I have more camber I’m front and none in rear.- will discuss that more on my suspension thread, but also I removed the front spacers and I put in the new 914rubber front control arm bushings then took it for a test drive.
Then I mounted my CHT gauge I got from Dakota Digital, worked on the wiring , almost ready to hook it up.
The I installed my heater blower I got a few months ago from kevin(Rhodguy), thanks Kevin! It works as advertised!
Sorted thru some parts. I will be listing a few soon in classifieds,
Then put in some new shiny parts i got from Bruce Stone, the cup washers and retainer bolts that hold the upper front struts in place wow what a difference!

-our with some old and in with some new.

- new fan in place- was 42 the other morning I was glad I had heater hose hooked up and seat heaters!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Arizona and sun sound like good ideas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

btw. I might have a set of re-chromed (from G-Car) foglight grills, if you are looking.




I have been trying to figure out what to do with the fog light openings. Send me a pm with the details on the foglight grills.

I swept out my RV garage in AZ today ... then looked around for a bunch of parts to bring back to CA - some for 'HOWARD' (our '71 914), and some parts for other World members.

Looks like I need to find a solution to a rodent issue I came across too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ... As I was sweeping up, I heard some gnawing sounds that appeared to be coming from a transaxle crate, so I wheeled it outside and will open it up tomorrow (Monday) to see what's going on in there. Hard to believe a rat could have squeezed through any of the very small crevices the crate's door or lid has (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Need to suit up and put on a mask to get rid of this mess as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif)

Side note ... I should have hired a contractor to apply a nice floor coating before I moved all the parts from my shop into this garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... I plan to move everything out of the 2-car garage into the RV garage and have that floor coated first ... then I'll have to figure out how/when to get the RV garage done.

Change the transmission oil and replaced my leaking speedo drive gear bushing with one of 914Rubber's new improved bushings. Three things I learned
One, oil leaking from that bushing can spray all over the place to the point that it appears your trunk is leaking oil

Two, Had a bugger of a time figuring out how the threads/nuts worked and the order in which to loosen things to take off the bushing, until I got it out, then it all made sense.

Three, and most importantly.... NO MORE LEAKS!

Drove it to a funeral in north Phoenix and was greeted with this on the drive home. Once again I’m glad I have heat and defrost

Started the bumper swap to lightweight Euro-style mouldings. Hard for we Europeans to believe all this cr@p lurks behind the US-spec rubber bumpers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I couldn't believe the weights of the US bumpers when I read it on here - along with a warning to get help when removing the rear bumper... I did it by myself and just managed to duck out of the way when it crashed to the floor! :-D

I put in a new throttle position sensor. Easier then I thought it would be. Don't know if Gary Cotton is on the world, but thanks for the detailed how to on youtube.

Put in my spokeworksled.com led brake lights and side markers on the 74. What a huge difference they make. Can't wait to get the reverse and turn signals put in. They are great!
Also put in the 914rubber.com led head lights. Amazing, they are literally night and day different. All bright and shiny here now!
