(UPDATED with comments below)
From the photos, this is what I see that is not correct. Anything I'm missing? Not correct / things to fix: - outside mirror - speaker boxes - after market front air dam - 80s radio - white valve covers - rust (?) spots on carpet - painted (?) headlight motors - 4-cyl center console - color change back to Irish Green - wheel center caps need to be anodized or something - incorrect jack - black plastic threshold plates and carpet cleat should be aluminum Not right but no reason to "correct" (IMO): - Euro lenses - Euro driving lights vs USA fog lights - 15x6 Fuchs (was originally steel) May or may not be correct: - horn button is not correct - center seat fabric should be smooth (Center cushion could be the Colgan aftermarket item, period correct) questions / not sure: - antenna may not be right... ? - repro rear trunk carpet (missing grommet). or might be orig. -Steve Attached image(s)

QUOTE(siverson @ Nov 3 2013, 10:50 PM)  Or is this one correct? -Steve That air filter is for a 911 with mechanical fuel injection, probably '72-'73 I think it has the plastic stud on one side that is for that application as well. The Shell oil factory fill sticker is positioned to be read from behind the car. Also, there are no squirter tubes or plumbing for cold start (or car fire) on that filter. But it is plastic. Marelli distributors are hard to find parts for and are less dependable than Bosch distributors. There are many more choices and parts availability with a Bosch. Best choice would be one for a 911S |
