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...  |

The OEM sender is screwed directly into the block. The metric to NPT adapters on eBay work fine. Running them on my car now.

Isn't distributor interference the biggest issue with direct mounting the VDO sender? They make one with the M10 tapered thread if I'm not mistaken. |

Since I now have the 123 distributor without the big advance/retard tank I wonder about just putting it straight into the block. The only worry there is no way to really get any torque on it. My sender is M10 and tapered (and has two different adapters before it gets to the old broken hose). Could you post a link to a tapered m10 on ebay? I have been looking at several but it is hard to tell which is actually tapered. |
