Pulled the motor out of the big six last night....

Going to replace the leaking timing box on the right side. It will be nice to have a leak free motor.

Hi Clay. The duel dizzys are so cool...Any progress on your horizontal cooling system?

I have to fix the oil leak first. Then I can start on the new MS3Pro wiring.

Here is the rope used to layout the EFI harness on the fan setup.

And the Vacuum block with the IAC and the MAP sensor.

I have been working on all of our other vehicles, so I have not had much time to work on this. The rope harness is still in prototype phase, so it is not final. I am debating on putting the ECU under the relay board.

I was going to put a blower fan where the /4 ecu mounted to push air through the heat exchangers so I would have heat. But I don't know if it will fit.

I also have to put vacuum ports in the bases of the intakes, across from the injector ports. Having the vacuum ports up near the butterflies would make the vacuum transition rather harsh and cause drivability issues.

We spent yesterday working on my car. We finally, it appears, have resolved the passenger axle seal leak that would leave a quarter-sized drip under my car when parked. Replaced the seal (again) only with a slightly different seal, and this morning not a drop under my car. Yay!!!!

We ended up dropping the rear of the car 1 Bilstein shock spring cup clip in height as it was just about 1/2" too high. Now it sits pretty with a slight rake, the front being maybe 5/8" lower than the rear. That's the way I think they look the best. I want to drive it some more today and really look at it to be sure we are at our final height adjustment. Then I will call the alignment shop to make an appointment to be sure everything is right.

We removed the rear valance and bumper as one of my valance attachment points on the body would not hold a screw to secure the valance and my valance was also about 1/4" off being straight. We installed riv-nuts in the 4 holes and used some black allen head screws that look nice and virtually disappear. The other screws were gold cad-plated Phillips screws. Now the valance is true across the width and looks much better.

We also, (finally) installed the snorkel on my stock 3.2 air cleaner. I have been wanting to do that for a bit. The air cleaner is now 100% stock 3.2 and appears to quiet the engine down a tiny bit too- of course, that could just be my imagination.

Also adjusted both doors as they were proud of the quarter panel when shut by maybe an 1/16". Now they are flush and still close nicely.

All in, a great day of fun and friendship.

Oh, the guy with the ponytail is HB. HB owns 2 914's- and is currently gathering parts to convert one of them to a 3.2 with Webers.....We hope to be picking the engine up from the machine shop within the next 30 days. Then the fun begins.

We did the work at Greg T.'s home in Tracy. Actually, he did the work and I was his assistant. Greg has the Willow Green flared 914 with a 3.2SS motored beautiful car that took 2nd at Werks Reunion this past year.

Oh- though the picture of the side profile makes it look like the rear wheel is showing positive camber, it actually is not. Weird.

Thanks for looking everyone,
Michael (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

AN fittings are always expensive, but they look very niece in the end…

my motor back in, new RMs and push rod tube seals, tin cleaned up new intake runners,
new SMP injectors, new fuel lines. attempted a start last night , no go- oops didn’t have the harness plugged al the way in- then cranked but no fire. not holding pressure at the fuel gauge so i have to recheck to make sure i don’t have the lines incoming vs return line swapped but it’s clean

Hi DrPhil- Yeah, it is always something. For every item I cross off the project list, I add 2 more- or so it seems. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I am experiencing a stumble upon cold start. Sounds like it is running on 4 cylinders and then clears up, like a fuel issue. Once warmed up she runs perfect. So I started trying to chase that issue down. So far, everything is looking fine..... ('87 3.2 with Motronic injection) BTW, love my Mom's Service Cover- we always use it.

Put the motor back in the big six yesterday. Got everything but the oil coolers and the mufflers back on underneath.

Today I will clean the nasty oil coolers, and reinstall them and the mufflers. Then I am going to reinstall the fuel injection and get it back up and running.

Went for a cruise after having the NOS TPS installed. Car runs perfectly!

This restoration is officially complete.
