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 think the tin clears the head, even though the edge of the spacer hits it.
The brass fitting shown isn't the correct picture. They also list one with a coarse metric (m10 x 1.5) thread and it uses the same picture. |

Still have the leak right above the outside bolt on #3 after doing the best sealing job ever on that new spacer. I really think that tin is the issue. Everything else looks great. Chris, any luck on the fitting? I assume I should just try for the adapter and the copper vdo thing... |

I have enough fittings to assemble one hose and include dash 3 to 1/8npt adapter fittings at both ends. The only dash 3 to M10x1.0 fittings I found available are for brake flare connection. They don't have tapered threads and never fully tighten in the tapered hole of the crankcase. |
