Well, you know I have been following your build off and on, and not regularly enough, and now I see you are driving. CONGRATULATIONS!

These are wonderful cars with the six as you suspected, and now you will realize just how wonderful they are and you will be paid in spaids for all your hard work.

Hats off to you my friend. I wish you were closer so we could enjoy a beer but now you Get even more enjoyment as you tweak performance and break her in. First time you hit 7000 rpm you will be unnerved, but realize these engines are ready for it so let her scream.

Have fun!

John

I'm doing euro front lenses with a switch to turn these on independently. The warts will be getting removed.





Did you consider Spokes LED board. There Ace's but more importantly since you've dropped a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) load of money into that car they increase your presence, greatly!

Will it fit under the crossbar on a stock '73 engine lid? I'm pretty sure the snorkel won't clear the firewall....

Depends on your manifolds Lawrence,mine is tight in there,but more about the rear bulkhead than height as I have stock 71 manifolds.
I notice the crossbar support could be an issue if you have taller manifolds that's the high point of the aircleaner as far as I can see or near enough.
This is the area where the snorkel fits on to the main housing,the snorkel can be cut but as it is a steel one it has a lot of value with the early 911 folks,get the plastic one and cut away as you need like the MFI ones...all good.

I think it will fit, but it runs into my fuel pressure gauge set up. I'm not sure if I want to re-engineer it all.

Hmmmm..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I found the same ,ok with the K&N's,luckily I was able to tweak the pressure regulator mounting bracket towards the rear bulkhead, this give me clearance (just) and I was able to read my pressure gauge better.
Good luck.

I have two plastic boxes. I like the look but am running K&N’s with rain hats. With all of the spitting that my car does through the carbs I am concerned about melting the plastic.

Anyone have recent experience ??

Please PM me if you decide to sell it or the K&N setup. I just need filtration at this point in my conversion parts accumulation.

My engine had really screwed up carbs to start with ,2 blocked enrichment noozles,broken air bleed screw ,spitback melted the RH of the stock plastic air cleaner,careful work with a heatgun sorted it,so far my indications are you will have spitback when the engine is cold that's normal common sense dictates you warm it up (hand throttle ) ,if jetting/balance/timing and other factors are right you won't melt anything once up to temp if all is correct.
These air cleaners are very well designed as Perry suggested,I went back remembering what the late great Bruce Anderson said,no gain on the K&N's ,they dyno tested and the K&N's and lost 1hp,he then went on to say he was worried about filtration and recommended the paper filter ,I'am using one.

Nice airbox. If you can find a spare snorkle, there's a vintage mod where you cut off some of the snorkle.

The 914-6 snorkle points the opposite way of a 911

Do you know why it pointed opposite direction? Does it interrupt with anything in particular?? I bought a steel one and everything is already powdercoated..

The snorkel base is not perpendicular to the long axis of the car, you will see when you mount it the snorkel fits pointing to the passenger side .

I'm going to attempt to re-seal my rear window and re-do my sail panel trims. My question is this: Do I apply the butyl to the window, or the frame?

I think it is the frame the way Ruffino does my windshields.

Just checking........??

The frame but before you do that be sure that little clip is in place. It helps support the glass. Then tilt the top of the glass back towards you as you offer it up to the opening. Once the bottom of the glass is where you want it push the tilted glass to mate with the upper portion. Do you save that piece you cut out for the fan. I need to do some patching on Red.
