There's likely a few thrash cans filled with empty Bud Light and Keystone cans behind this sign........... classic.

What do you do with the relay board when doing a conversion?

Move it? Remove it? Keep it?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I leave it in and use it to hold the voltage regulator. If you run an internally regulated alternator, you can remove it. If you are running an early 911 engine, you will need to find some place to put a tach amplifier. Without one, the tach won't work. The factory used the 914-6 relay board for that, but you could put it in behind the tach.

I dumped it 30 years ago. Never missed it.

I'm going to use the Clewett Engineering ignition set-up which I think has its' own wire to the tach.

I would check with Clewett for recommendations. Otherwise 30 years ago I bought a 914 and 911 Haynes manuels and did a stare and compare. Both the 911 and 914 tach have a black and purple wire that goes from the tach to pin 1 on the coil. All I did was replace the tach with a 911 tach and trace the wires with an volt ohm meter. Pretty simple.

Nice!!! The real sixes had the relay board. I liked the extra room, so I dumped it. I used a 928 connector to connect to the plug that plugs into the relay board. I made my own harness. Patrick sells the same thing. A carbureted engine is very simple.

I'm just planning out how all of this goes together and I'd rather not have the board in there if I can help it. I'd like to grind the holders out now, before I detail, weld, and paint the engine compartment.

Thank you for all the help and suggestions! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Just make sure your alternator has a built in regulator. Mine did.
I still have receipt somewhere for the plug to build a harness.
Pretty simple.

I drained all remaining gas out of the car, pulled the tank and had my handy-dandy machinist friend make this custom aluminum tank plug for the return line inlet in the tank that I will not be using. It is made to be press fit, and with a bit of gas Permatex, it should do the trick.

Cool idea, but can't we find a cap nut to do the same thing? Anybody know what size and TPI is that bung is?

A cap nut would not seal as well. When you torque this down, you have a press fit on the tit that sticks out, which plugs the hole. THEN, the aluminum on the top side crushes against the nipple on the gas tank, like a crush washer. So it won't leak for sure.

That's the idea behind it. A cap nut would rely 100% on the threads to seal it which is sketchy for gas.

Not if a fibrous washer or an impervious rubber gasket were used in the cap nut.
