Well for what it,s worth I would like to make a comment addressed to everyone about ......FIRES and destroyed cars...After doing some reading on 914 world, and other places it seems to be an unfortunate occurance, too often, that an otherwise beautiful car, just burns to the ground,into a virtural pile of unsalvagable parts.a crispy critter. I would like to recommend that the FIRST PROJECT YOU DO NEXT...is to throughly check every part on your fuel and fuel delivery system to ensure that there are zero leaks,and tight fittings,with new, er,ish, good fuel lines.Do not neglict the gas tank,or fuel pump, and filters..suspect everything, assume nothing... jump in and make your suggestions,and recommendations or comment.

When ever I start any of my vintage cars the first thing I do is to open the engine compartment and check for any fuel leaks. If everything is okay I drive off. At the first stop sign about a half mile away I open the driver's door, I then lean out the door (without getting out of the car) and look under the back of the car and look for any drips.

I recommend the HALOTRON fire extinguisher over the HALON. They are supposed to be much less corrosive. $111.00 for a 1.4 pound extinguisher at the local Fire and Safety business.
