Visited the "clean-er" case to discuss the build. That's the oil tank behind it.

It's so hard playing the waiting game, parts are out for balance, pistons and cylinders are coming, pipes are coming….

Driving mine! Lunch break at Dion's Pizza. Kids (teens) came out to take pictures. One asked, "what year is your Porsche?" with correct pronunciation. There is hope for the youth of today!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Replaced the old cheap-ass ignition switch I put in a year and a half ago with a brand new cheap-ass ignition switch. I'll mark the calendar for when I'll probably be doing this job a third time...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

At least I can do it quickly now...

All or one portion?

Hey Cary! I looked at it briefly but didn't do a real detailed post-mortem. It appeared the whole assembly lost enough "structural integrity" that it just wasn't making contact when turned. You could sort of "sense" that it was going to go at some point, as you had to turn the key a certain way in the ignition to get it to work. Then yesterday afternoon as I was changing the oil just nothing. With the new switch in, it fired up nicely. About 2 months ago I put in a hot start relay. Maybe that will help prolong the life of this one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Took the '73 to cars and coffee at Penske Museum in Scottsdale. Didn't take any pictures- only 914 there but a few nice AC'ed P-cars...
