I really love deep 6's on a 914. My 914 had two of them when I bought it.

You are not running the stock Marelli distributor? There are new cap and rotor sets for them now. And a Pertonix module too.

A 100 years ago I was converted to a Bosch distributor. I have the Marelli but thought this was better performance.
Am I incorrect…..enlightened me.
Thanks

A question……if I’m painting engine tin is high temp paint needed. Generally have powder coated so didn’t need to be concerned. I’m thinking not……but figure someone has actual experience.
Thanks

The only reason people removed the Marelli distributors was due to the fact that cap and rotor sets were completely unavailable. But now that they are again available, the Marelli works great.

Provided you don't get one that is worn out. Check where the advance weights hit the fixed plate on top of the shaft under the rotor. I had one that was so worn, there was a ridge that the advance weights would hang on. And that would keep it advanced. I found another and it was not worn out. So now the engine will come back to idle without trickery.

Great work, love the installation of the lower inner firewall. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Every step is a celebration and encouraging. Nice that you have ongoing work in paralel, body and mechanical.

I can't tell if anything is fixed yet on the run stand but suggest that the tank be
located just as it would be in the car... height, distance etc.
This will make plumbing and capacity easier to assess.
Keep up the good work.
Every step is progress.

Long story but you are correct. ….unfortunately builder has his own ideas.. needed special oil lines as you will well understand.
