123... and your oils on the driveway, not the crankcase., If something can go wrong... Options

So.... Bought a 123injection distributor from tangerineracing and installed it nice and easy. Started it up to set the timing and I hear this weird slurping noise.

That nearly irreplaceable hose that goes from the block to the remote oil pressure sender had finally given out.

Chris is trying to find the appropriate fittings to replace it.


Also, chasing a vacuum leak around the intake on cylinder 4. Just replaced the spacer a month ago and really was careful with the blue gas safe sealer etc. The injector seals are all new. Spraying very carefully it really does appear to be the area near the spacer. Any tips and tricks?


Nobody would ever suspect a 914 is behind that door...

I was pretty sure the dual VDO sending units don't fit through the tin and required cutting. The more preferred solution was to put an extension from block through the tin. AA sold a stainless steel hose that would thread right in and served the dual purpose of grounding to the block. Other people used paintball gun hoses, but I think those required separate ground. Downside to this approach is now you have this additional hose and sending unit flopping around on top of everything else, unless you can find a way to mount it neatly.

I had one of the AA SS hose adapters but for some reason I never actually installed an OP sending unit or gauge. Still want to do that at some point.
