If you didn't see elsewhere this is a 1970 914 w/ a 327 and 901 transmission. I purchased the car from "Bullit" and here is some info I gotten thus far. The wiring harness is out of a '73; the front end is off a 911 but I forget which year w/ "M" calipers; Trailing arms have some of Foley's reinforcement kit; Engman inner stiffener kit was installed; Griffen radiator;window regulators from a '73; stock 914 1/2 shafts and a lot more which I'll note later.
I'm presently working on the rear brakes and trailing arms and have 2 questions. What is the torque valve for the nut that my torque wrench is attached to; 108 ft lb or 50 ft lb? The manual says 50 for "Control arm bearing/body" and 108 ft lbs for the "Control arm bearing/control arm". Not sure which is which! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Delete that Rob. I don't want her to see that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
So it's time for an update as it's been a couple of weeks. I'm not able to report the progress I had hoped but here I am. Flushed the block. Surprisingly small amount of rust in the block Finally removed the last of the silicone from the frame with a wire goto brush. Lost a little paint here and there so I primed and painted that area with some black which I had on hand. No biggie as it will be hidden from view. Just teasing you in that one pic Bob. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I believe I'm at about 90% complete with the wiring. I've powered up both circuits going into the cabin. I have all of the gage lights working, as well as headlights, parking and turn signals, fan lights, pop up headlights and horns. Jesus H Christ Bob. What horns are those? I can't hear myself fart anymore and those horns scared the Hell out me. :rotfl : I should receive the fan controller and Dakota Digital Quad gauge by Monday and hope to be complete with wiring in the next week.
