This is good to know. My Kroon 6 harness is still in the box it was shipped in. I purchased it at least 2 years ago. I will have to open it up again and take a look.

Thanks Glenn.

When I built my 71 914-6 conversion, I used a NOS 914-4 wiring harness. I went through the entire harness with a multimeter on my living room floor and checked every wire.

I found 2 that were incorrect. I was able to correct the issue before the harness went in the car and had no electrical issues upon startup.

Those wild and crazy Porsche AG assembly line guys must have hit the Haufbrau Haus early once a week and let their quality slide just a smidge.

The shift lever was too rusty to put in this car so I switch it out.

I was all ready for start-up and then I found a seal on the fuel pump went bad, fuel poured out on the floor.

Glenn, your work is mind blowing. No doubt this baby is in better shape than when it rolled out of the factory.

Are these available? If so, I'd take 2. Glad to pay for custom work.

The build has taken a detour! After many attempts to start the car it is just not possible to get the timing correct. It did seem like the cam timing was off so I gave @sixnotfour a call, went thru other possibilities and as it turns out the engine builder did set the cams incorrectly! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

I pulled the motor and brought it to Kinnaman’s ( @Bartlett 914 ) shop which is nice and clean to not only set the cam timing but also add rocker arm seals.
