I have been absent for a while and my car has sat, but upon running the car around i notice that the power was gone in the upper RPMs. I put electronic ignition in it thinking that might help, but it did not. After taking it to a shop they told me the distributor was bad.
The shop wants me to replace the distributor which is the original vacuum advance one, with a 123 distributor. I am looking to sell the car, so putting a $500+ distributor is not on my agenda. Is there any way to loose the vacuum advance or am I stuck having this original one rebuilt. Not looking to break the bank either. Aidan |

Tom, You should be able to change the FI points with out taking out distributor. Thanks Mark I took the winter cover off my 914 then with a fresh battery cranked it to start. The engine makes a mini start up, then nothing. I suspect the trigger points are the issue. Never happened before after winter storage. Tom |
