been sitting waiting for a call to pick up the legacy outback and then go to the hardware store for some new fasteners. new oil and filter. couldn't wait any longer so... let the pump tone change, 4 pumps, hit the key and LIFT OFF!!! no muffler so it's LOUD. turned it off. have to get the muffler on, set the timing, balance the carbs, set the idle air for stable purring and button up the heat ducting. am i happy? FUCHIN' A!!!! don't want to jinx things with some outlandish prediction.

happy camper

Congrats!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

LOVE that feeling. I think I have short videos on all of my old phones from capturing the moments to send unsuspecting friends at ungodly hours!

LOL! Well put Joe. I must admit I have seen Kevin with a running 914 before. Though it has been probably 10 years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Glad to hear it Kevin. I got very little done today but Tuesday morning it will be started.

Get my seat brackets welded in also in the morning.

Joe and JRust, I think the last time Kevin drove his silver car was one week before the WCR 08. Glad he's running again.

not a shameless plug. chris' cable linkage gets a big dose of credit on the smooth start. you can get it pretty damn close by eye just watching the action of the 2 pulleys after putting it on and presetting the throttle stop arms. had to turn the idle speed screws in a bit to find an acceptable idle, 850 to 900rpm. i'll get it up to operating temp today, confirm the timing and be breaking out the 'snail' to see what the flow is side to side. any adjustments can be made with one wrench and a short screwdriver. then find best idle with the idle air needle screws. when i swapped the mallory over, the rotor was close to the #1 terminal location with engine on tdc on cyl #1.

Ya, I still sport those valve stem caps on the Alien. I remember driving up to the top of the parking ramp and setting off all the car alarms on the way up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I have to miss this year. I have to drive 20 hrs. one way to Nashville for a 6hr meeting instead. I'm not getting paid to do it but if I don't go I likely will not be chosen to work this year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Glad your car is running. Finish the tune and have fun!
