I found out the 2 of my cylinders have around 50 psi of compression.

Finally had the parts I needed to install the driver's door pocket top flap stop. Pulled the door panel off, installed the stock stop onto the door panel and reassembled with a new cage-nut in the door where I had one that was problematic for the actual pocket. All back together with door panel leather conditioned. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Finished up the Tangerine Carb Linkage install, with the exception of some fine adjustments. I need to replace a few fuel hoses and then I'll fire it up and see what happens. The linkage itself seems to work great....pretty slick!

Wider View: The taller intakes really alleviated the clearance issues with the plug wires.

Tell us more... What are you up to?


Building a Safari style car and modified trailing arm mount points for a 2” lift. Working on the front lift now. I was wondering when someone would get curious about that pic.

Replaced a couple of fuel hoses, put the final adjustments on the Tangerine carb linkage, threw the seat back in, tried to fire it up......the carb that I rebuilt is still leaking.... bummer. Positive: Tangerine system works great. Negative: I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy 2 new carbs to get a baseline and reboot. Gotta love it. More Negative: I'm missing the absolute best driving weather in Georgia....DOH!

Installed passenger side OEM side mirror. Fortunately side windows are out so drilling out the holes in the door from inside was pretty easy.

Tinkering around I noticed a new air filter sitting on the shelf. I do like to buy stock of common parts like oil filters etc. But couldn't recall ordering extra filters. Went to check the one in my 914-6 and zowie it was dirty! Must mean I bought to replace and forgot I had it.

Very nice- your tailpipe looks perfect. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks Michael,nice hearing that from you,OP had a large exist pipe welded on to suit rear 914 valance as mentioned ,thought I would just slip a piece of stainless pipe over it and job done,however O.D. was all wrong.
Found this "ricer" tailpipe extension and cut the inside reduced section off and profiled it to the pipe..bit bigger than I would have wanted but I kinda like it.
Crossing my fingers this Rust-oleum paint is up to it ?,hope to run up today and check.
Moved to repairing RH side tailight lens with had to top section of the clear part broken off,great lens otherwise ,found a spare egg tray from my new fridge and cut and grafted a piece in,a very tricky job but came out great...better than my crappy pics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) .

Did the gaps shrink? From what I know a larger gap (to a point) will provide a greater spark. Runs better is always a good thing
