yes, i actually own a 914, which might be hard to imagine based on my random mostly-OT-posts the past few months...
it's hard making any progress on it in just random chunks of a few hours here and there, but now i've got a fresh hi-comp 2056 installed and looking damn fine.
hooked up all the wiring tonight and cranked it. oil-light went off in about 30 seconds. sounded good and clean. added fuel and spark, got a few pops. one of the IDF's isn't squirting -- ill have to look into that tomorrow.
BUT, i'm thrilled to have made it this far. hope to get running tomorrow, align the shifter, install the 5-point harness i've got lying around here, and put some serious miles on it this week.
i should be humble about my mechanical abilities, but it's a great sense of accomplishment to put a car back together.
