Took it to an early cars and coffee and then headed to the local Porsche dealership for the 75th anniversary party. The 914 was the oldest car on the lot. There was another 1970 911 but nothing newer. Free lunch and a good time…

Pulled the wire for a CHT sensor. Fabbed and painted a DIY mount for the gauge. Plan to finish tomorrow with the install and getting the wires hooked up.

Finished CHT sensor and gauge install. It works great with temps around 310 after an hour of driving. That's right in the range from Jeff Bowlsby's CHT article.

I think removing the mouse nests from the cylinders might have helped a bit ...

Mounted it with a DIY mount until I can figure out where it will live long-term.

Will take a few hours to do the entire car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also had the dent Dr. over for a day doing magic…

that right there is a LOT of work, i did my engine compartment 2 years ago, and the rear trunk floor too at that time, that old zbart crap they sprayed on was horrible- im going to do the floor pan this summer, and thinking about taking it up to Charlotte and have the cryo blasting dry ice blast or what ever itis , done, that is kind of the last frontier of my restoration.
i found that brake cleaner for some of the stubborn spots will take that off without taking off my paint, but it can if your not careful, i wouldnt do it othewise but on the floors and inner rockers im going to get that all cleaned up enough to re-paint and might do the tinted bed liner or lizard skin im not sure yet.

If available in your area I'd highly recommend dry ice cleaning. I took off 52+ years of old Ziebart, etc from my '71 and the silver paint underneath looked amazing considering...

The dry ice method appears to be the easy button for sure, but being a CSOB I am trying to do it in house. Does brake cleaner cut through the old undercoating?

The RAT Engen came back from PMB for me and Mark Sonners to take down to find out why it has a tick in it. Sounded like an exhaust leak but it had low oil pressure so we will find out. This was a Jake build not just RAT parts.

Looks great.. runs like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif).

Cylinder #5 is not firing. Changed the plug, and wire, no joy. Took the gas torch and fed acetylene into the #5 venturi on the car. The miss went away.

I think I have a blocked passage in the left carb. I have to pull the top after work today and see if I can clear it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Did I ever say how much I dislike carbs.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Got my carburetors idle jet unclogged, new 3,1/4” trumpets, and filters, new brake pads, rotors serviced, new front bearings installed, new rear springs, and finally replaced the shift lever that broke, reviewed the valve springs sitting, some minor electrical things and some major oil leaks, and my oil temp meter works perfect now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Oh, and installed my AN6 fittings for the Carbs

Finally I drove the car today and is completely a new car. Just needs jetting now, we will find a dynamometer for that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Now it needs a lot of cleanup underneath as you can see, the oil leak in the head gasket was severe… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
