I'm running the PMS Setrab GT Oil cooler special and I have problems getting the car to 190 and I am running a Mocal thermostat. However if your stuck in traffic in the summer it will overheat without fans to pull the air through.

Interesting thing about the flipped picture thing Andy. On all my Apple machines, it is right side up. It was taken with an iPhone 5. On anything PC in my house, it is upside down. Apple saying Fuch you to the PC world? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Newer JPEG formats have rotation and orientation information stored in the header meta data that allows applications to automatically rotate images correctly.


It's been on my long list of things to do, to add support for this to the site ...

Traffic in Reno is when you can see the taillights of another car on the freeway... Shouldn't be a problem for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here's the muffler:

It's a modified, two-in two-out 911 unit.
I believe the internal have been changed to improve exhaust exit flow.

Not sure I like the long pipes. But I suppose that can be modified too. Like I said, run it by Mark. He will be back in the shop next Tuesday... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

A little clean up, shorten the pipes and hit it with cold galvanizing compound and that muffler will be badass!

On my car, it would have to be ceramic coated. Plus, I want to keep the rear valance. It looks like those pipes are high up. Mark needs to look at it...

Found a NOS 914-6 Dansk for sale. It's on its way to McMark.

Tripping back to McMark's on Thursday and Friday to put the top end of the 3.2 back together IF the Getty Design fiberglass 'tin' is there...

Now that Marks back and the parts are rolling in, won't be long now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Why? AFAIK, the only difference between the 914-6 muffler and the 911 muffler is the position of the tailpipe. The 914-6 one fits the original "porthole" 914-6 rear valance, while the 911 muffler fits the early 914-4 "porthole" valence, and also the later short valance.

Why bother with an NOS 914-6 muffler, then?

Because I have a 914-6 rear valence on the car. I actually would have considered either and in fact did a price comparison on Pelican. I was all set to buy a 911 muffler new from Pelican when this one kind of fell out of space. I got it cheaper than any of the new 911 options and those 911 guys seem to think that anything that gets bolted to their cars is made of gold... One guy was selling a used dented 911 muffler for more than Pelican sells it for new. Same model.

Ok, heard from Martin S. tonight. Wants to know if it is ok to ship. Yes! McMark is back so ship away! One last piece of the puzzle left. Just need the 'tin' from Getty... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Went down to the OC today. Work was in progress on a couple of tasty projects. An engine/transaxle was on its way out. For what I never asked. A 2002 was getting a new headliner... And I was there to make my clean 3.2 engine look, well.... More like an engine!

Made a good deal of progress. The 'tin' that can go on, is on. Some can't because the on engine oil cooler has to be modified. The intake is on. The breather has a new gasket. I put one of the headers on. Can't put both because the engine can't be spun on the stand with both... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Looks more like an engine now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Oh, and yes, that is the oil tank in the background...
