since I'm in town and running outta tourist-y things to do I offered my help to drop by and do whatever needed doing, so that offer is out there.

I expect it's at the point where I'd be more in the way than actual help and I can respect that. But either way Joy and I are planning on showing up at the NordStern show Sunday morning before the Hopkins Art Center reception Sunday afternoon.

Im dunkeling around on it still, I made some changes to the scavenge hard line that runs from the tank to the side of the case. I wanted to put an inline oil filter in there so i brazed some AN12 fittings to the sections that i cut out of the hard line and am running some SS hose to those fittings to put it back together.
I should have it started tomorrow and i am hoping for the best. I will shoot you some pictures of it after i have some Benders.

NO START!, but it's pretty tough to do without help, i cant crank and look, and do stuff at the same time. She wont stay lit just stumbles along with the starter. I will tow it over to the shop this week and have them time it since that is what it appears to be, sounds just like it did before when they had the dizzy clocked 180º out.
Big disappointment no 914's at the car show today. But i did get to meet Rich and Joy (Artechnica)

Three words for you my friend - Remote Start Switch.

I know you have dismissed this as a possibility, but I wouldn't give up on the possibility that one or more of the plug wires don't go where they're supposed to. There's also the possibility that the Z1 mark was not put on the flywheel in the right place, especially if it is not an original 914.6 flywheel -- but if this flywheel has been used on this engine with success in the past, that's probably not it either.

I did see a zoomy flared white 914 leaving the display grounds - sounded pretty healthy, like either a big 6 or a V8.

Good meeting you and your son today. Saw a bunch of cool cars and the weather was great.

Joy and I head home to SEPA first thing in the morning.

Rich you and Joy have a safe journey home.

I stopped into the art show and checked it out, pretty cool keep up the good work.
Bill the owner of the White Sheridan car you saw just left from my house a while ago
LS6 chev v8 520hp.
I am pretty sure the dizzy is clocked 180º out again, because when it was showing me the distributor and how it was mark he explained that he lined the notch up with the #1 on the cap, and it struck me funny because that was the problem last time because it is a special made 12 plug distributor using the SC distributor. The #1a is opposite of the #1b by the notch.

Mark is on the crankshaft pulley on the 930 engine.

If you think it's 180 out and you don't feel like pulling the dizzy couldn't you just reinstall the plug wires accordingly?

I dont think so, at least thats what the guys in the shop had to do last time. all i know is the wires on the cap weren't touched and all the wires are clearly labeled and are where they should be.

packing now, be SE bound in just a few. Long way and we do have to be there Tuesday but we're not in a panic rush. Long but easy, no reason to take chances.

keep up the good work.

Thanks. I still have a lot to learn and work on but I'm pretty happy with those.

When the engine is out is a great time to transfer that mark to the flywheel / ring gear...

marks have been wrong before - assume nothing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If you and Joy ever make it back here again you have to check out my messy art studio and collection of vintage airbrushes, I may be able to show you a trick or two.
Here is a painting i did of that 959 i told you about the image was about 3 x 9.
