I have an aircleaner box that still has the squirter manifolds and the fuel line that feeds them.
I thought it would be cool to leave them in and mock up the connection. Does anyone have a pix or know where the feed line for these connected and how was it routed?? Could not find it in PET or the shop manual. From what I can learn, the 911 one was connected to a T and a solenoid that was in the tunnel. What about the six?? |

I have never seen a complete setup on a car..
I have known my car since late 1972 and it had always been maintained by the Dealer and it was long gone, even then. Can you say Fire Hazard?? That plus the plastic air box and the plastic air horns on the top of the Webers could make for an expensive backfire. Would be interesting to see a complete but nonfunctional mockup on a car. |

Thanks for replies and encouragement. The rarity of this is what makes me want to track it down. I see reference to the de-cell dashpot in the workshop manual, but nothing on the enrichment squirters. There are a few threads over on the early s registry. Apparently an interim fix was replacing the plastic air horns with the metal ones. At least one guy still runs it on his 911 and says it works. I have no interest in that! I have a vague recollection of having the deceleration dashpot on my first six back in the day but am nearly certain I had no squiters I wonder who might know more about this that has not seen this thread? |
