Uhh-Ohh…., My Ongoing 914 Build Adventures.... Options

It's a heavy duty marine/boat accelerator cable.

More Patrick Motorsports goodness arrived by the front door today. The "last" thing I needed to buy. (are they ever done?)

[Larmo63]

MSDS Headers went on, I need to cut a couple "mouse holes" for the two pipes in the GT muffler.

I wonder if that style muffler is worth cutting up a perfectly good valance?

[Larmo63]

Getting it done.

I would buy a fiberglas replica and cut that instead.
Maybe AIR or Getty

The PMS shift linkage bar is a beefy & well built piece, but the cup and rod needed a little persuasion to fit together. Wifey went to bed, so of course I'm out underneath the car working underneath it until 11:00 at night. I got it all buttoned up, but the shifter is terrible inside the car. I had the shifter out earlier in the build and the front tunnel rod is out of adjustment (I think?)

This is going to be fun.

Download Dr. Evils trans supplement at this link. It has information on how to adjust all the shifters.

Thanks Steve. I read it and will make an attempt to adjust the shifter per his instructions today. It's a combination of new clutch cable, linkage, and in/out of the shifter.

All of those moving parts.

Clutch part is easy. Push clutch pedal to floor. Then grab the clutch pedal and pull up and down. Adjust the cable til you have 1/2" free play, pulling the pedal towards you and away from you. Adjusting the stop on the pedal board requires typically two people. One to push the pedal to the floor and the other person to let you know that the throw out bearing arm is not moving anymore. The stop is to prevent the cable from getting stretched and wear and tear on clutch tube, etc.

It's also to prevent over centering the clutch. It needs to disengage the disc enough, but not so much to stress the spring

What fuse should I use for switched power for the fuel pump?

Which side of the fuse block?

Oh, and when are you coming by to help me adjust my clutch (and shifter,) Steve?

[Maltese Falcon]

Getting it done.

Your 9146 build is looking good Lawrence , appreciate your choice in exhaust headers ¡ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

IIRC,any but the last 3. Drop the fuse panel and look behind at the wires. There are some open spades you can attach to. I wouldn't share a fuse. Just add an in-line fuse off one of those spades. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Maybe this will help ?

No the relay board mod as per Andy's tech article,but I suspect you may have gone relay board delete ??
Call Perry if you have done relay board delete,gez I don't remember the colours sorry......getting close for you.


EDIT....
Sorry forgot you went to front fuel pump if you still have a relay board you can run a power feed down the fuel return to the original plug in the engine bay,not easy to do but worked for me.
If no relayboard you will need to find a supply and wire a relay in there and supporting fuse (7.5 amp),you would then link to the 12 pin plug,however happy to be proved wrong ?.

I have time next weekend. This weekend I will be in Sun City for my Moms bday.

[rhodyguy]

Have you switched over to powering the pump using the jumper wire from the engine compartment relay board (classic thread forum) and the stock FP harness?

[Larmo63]

I wired it to a dash switch, then I'll go fused to switched power.

I have the option of turning on the ignition without the fuel pump running.

Theft deterrent?

[Larmo63]

Wiring gauges and working under the dash of a 914 is NOT fun. Poor Trudy, she had to put up with my moans, groans, swearing, growling, sighing, grumbling, cursing, stomping, cajoling, barking, grunting, cursing, figuring, fussing, working, and finishing.

It will (still) be a miracle if this all works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

I'm pretty confident it will. Although, I will be Amazed.

I did the tach adapt box, fuel pump power, oil pressure gauge, and oil temperature gauge.

On to other adventures tomorrow. My list grows shorter.
