Took the motor out of this car 04/2011. Finally got the replacement in and cabled/hosed up. Fired right up as soon as I got the carbs full of gas.

Yup, tight. I know what they are now and I'll be checking them again as soon as I get Mikey914 valve cover gaskets.

To do list...
Side valances repainted. New clutch cable. Fine tune shift linkage adjustment (only put a wrench on it once). Wideband A/F gauge install before I mess with carbs so I can get a baseline. This thing could really use new door, front and side targa seals. I have plenty stashed.

Pic for fun...

I got a care package from Tangerine Racing today. New MSD wires custom fit for a 914 with tin boots and a new cap for my Mallory. One tower had gotten some light corrosion and the MDS wires I had were always too short. Thanks Chris. Definite drivability improvement. Slight, but there none the less.

good stuff mike. swapped out for 32mm vents? what was amusing about the a/f ratio? did you remember the small metal covers that go over the idle air adj screw o-rings? art and ACE in general are sure easy to deal with.

Carbs rebuilt and back on, car running, driving. I need to do some more tuning, but I'd prefer to wait until McMark's bellcrank linkage kit shows up.
