for what it's worth, a mechanic advised my bro to not fill his dry sump car to full with oil, because it took so long to heat the oil to boil out the condensate. In his car, it took a couple of hours of hwy speed to get the oil temp off zero.

Maybe a portion of that mentality is working here.

1) There are two bolts that bolt the steering rack to the body. The extend back from the rack a good 10-12 inches and bolt up. Both of the bolts that go into the body there are missing. So I got that going for me.

Lastly, what's the best way to take off the 75-76 bumpers. I know you need to cut down a lip to get back-date, but how do you get those monsters off!?!?!?


Hey Joe,
First off, I'm happy to see you taking on this project as it was such a great deal.

As for a couple of your questions: You should have the same bolts on the yellow car, so take one off of there so you know what needs to be replace and the front & back bumpers have two bolts on each that secure theme to the shocks and you can get to them via the two access holes at the bottom of each bumper.

Good Luck,
Bill

Update

It's not seized!!!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)


I cleared the gas lines, put in the new tank, replaced a hose to the oil tank, put gas in the tank, oil in the tank hooked up a battery and let er rip!! She cranks!! Woohoo!!

However, The battery I used didn't have a lot of juice, so we hooked up the charger and Mark didn't know I was going to crank it and I blew that out. Then I used my jumper box and that drained before we realized that the gas tank was sitting at an angle (we put a block of wood in there to hold it up while I was tightening the lines underneath and forgot it). Since there is not a lot of gas in the tank, that tilt kept the gas from the lines.

Charging batteries and jumper boxes tonight. Tomorrow we dine in, um... well... you get my drift (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Who the Fuch is this Mark character you mention, and what the Fuch does he know about 914's anyway?

I hear he smashed one of your daughters' fingers in the gate to your back yard. Did you shoot the useless bastard? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

So I went out there again today to try and start her up. A few issues:

1) The ignition switch sticks and the starter stays engaged. I tried to pull the column, but its different that the one on my 73. It had the 4 bolts that old the switches in, but then it's hard wired, where the 73 had those pins. I am doing this from memory, but I don't recall this config. So rather than break something, I stopped. Any help here is appreciated.

2) The motor is not starting. I hooked up my timing light, and its blinking when I am cranking it, so I believe I am getting spark. Which leaves me with fuel. Given the high level of varnish in the system, I am not too surprised. I plan to pull the fuel pump and clean it. Not sure it even works. Anyone have some simple tests for me to try?

3) I want to ID the motor. It says on the fan shroud, near the emissions info, 911S, but not sure that makes a lot of difference at this point. Can anyone point me to where I should look for the motor info?

TIA

Depending on the weather, I plan to pull the fuel pump and clean it up some today to see if that helps.

The motor spins, and I believe I am getting spark (timing light blinks), so fuel is next.

Also, I have an issue with the ignition switch leaving the starter engaged. I was able to pull out the key and the car was still cranking. So I need to clean that up too. Car has been sitting a while. Not too surprising it has issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

A little progress so far today.

1) It's not the ignition switch that is getting stuck, it's the starter. So I need to look at that.

2) The fuel pump does work, but I don't think it's getting juice. I need to check the wiring - ugh...I hate electrical problems.

Ok, so I got the fuel pump back in, and it's spinning. I had to take the back of the car off of the jack stands (front is on ramps) to get gas to flow back to the pump. I don't think that the pump is pushing the gas. I think I am going to run to the store and get a few feet of FI hose and run it into my gas can and see what happens.

So today, I got some FI fuel line, and rigged it up to an external tank connecting to the fuel pump. I think the way the lines were run before, the current pump location is bad for drawing fuel. So I turn the key and we get fuel flowing downstream from the pump into this guy:

I dunno what that is, so some help is appreciated. I assume its some sort of pressure regulator. From this thing we move downstream via AN type connector to this guy:

Attached Image

Looks to be a fuel filter. And it has holes in it from sitting so long and gas starts to run from it onto the engine bay.

So my questions are:

1) What is the gizmo in the first pic? I worry its full of rust. Can I skip it and go straight to a fuel filter?
2) Can I use a 914 style (square) fuel filter for now just to test? Will it handle the pressure?

TIA and damn I'm getting closer......
