I was flipping through some old magazine articles that i have and was looking at a photo that i have looked at a hundred times. When it struck me that they chopped up the CIS system to fit in the #13 916. The article is fro the 1987 July/August VW& Porsche magazine page 49. The article claims that they replaced the original six with a 3.0 SC motor. My scanner is not working at this time so I can't post a picture. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Does any one else have the picture they can post? I am in the process of putting a 2.7 with CIS and wondering if what they did looks as crazy as I think. or maybe it is a simple way of getting it all to fit?
In the picture it looks like they cut the air boot in half moved the sensor plate and fuel distributor turning it clockwise and connected the two with a metal box??? Leaving the latch in place I will try and get the photo scanned to post. |

I had a six conversion that was done by a previous owner. It had a 2.7 w/ the original CIS. They had ground the fins off of the air boot to clearance the engine lid and the had removed the original latch and placed key locks on either side. I think it could be done fairly easily just by relocating the latch (should not be an issue in a conversion).
