My 914 has been sidelined since 2012 for a number of reasons but was parked not running. Pulled it out of mothballs and hauled it over to the local vintage Porsche mechanic who said my impulse sender had no signal. He said he was unable to source parts for it and was unsure if replacing that part would get it back on the road his recommendation was to convert to Weber 40's. I'm not rich so I understand his hesitancy to open what could be a very expensive can of worms.
So here is where my questions start I'm just looking for a solid running reliable car that I can drive on trips and maybe autocross 2-3x per year. anyone have a source on the impulse senders? can they be rebuilt? Is the Carb it advice good? I have a basically stock 2.0 with hydraulic lifters and a very mild cam. Will I have to change my cam to convert it? what's the best carb? I have seen 34's 40's and 44's people seem to do all three are there pros and cons to each setup? Can I get this conversion done for around $1500 in parts and is it a achievable project for an average mechanic? I suck with electrical but I have plenty of tools and am not afraid to learn as I go. I have done head gaskets and other mid level projects before. |

Trigger points are NLA, I think there are some folks around here sitting on some, however I see them for 150 to 200 dollars. That's halfway to a 123ignition distributor, and that is where everything becomes easy. No points, no triggers, installs in minutes, no fuss.

That's halfway to a 123ignition distributor, and that is where everything becomes easy. No points, no triggers, installs in minutes, no fuss. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Trigger points are NLA - True I see them for 150 to 200 dollars. That's halfway to a 123ignition distributor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) Right on page 1 -- I posted an Ebay offering; $32 for a used set. Took me all of 30 seconds to find them. Trigger contacts are a low current contact switch. Many used sets are still serviceable. There is a guy (Norbert) here on the World that sells an adjustment gauge / tool that can be used to reset trigger points gap even when the rub block is worn. Another 30 second search on the site using: site: 914world.com trigger points tool http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=271523 Nothing wrong with a 123 Dizzy but there were MILLIONS of these trigger points made and plenty are still in circulation so let's not pretend that you HAVE to spend $450 + tax + shipping for a 123 dizzy to get the car back on the road. |
