OK, its been a fast week, however since posting on this board last Thursday I have bought, picked up and delivered a 1.7 L engine to my mechanic to replace the 1.7L that needs rebuilding.
The engine was purchased from two great guys, one a member of this board, and on Wednesday of this week (or Thursday) I will be a few levels happier. Now, a question. (Mike D you can chime in if you are out there, I wasnt able to fully ask all of the questions I had this past Saturday -it was early and I was still dizzy from all of the 'new stuff' I was exposed to). electronic points/ignition? The newer electronic points kits out there, are they really that much better than the good old fashion points, and is it a safe bet to simply install them without any additonal tweaking? - What are the potential hazzards -there arent a lot of people out there discussing the drawbacks of dropping in one of the electronic kits. Hope to hear from you. thanks again for all recent help. |

QUOTE(Boldylocks @ Sep 16 2003, 11:39 AM) Are there any brake systems for the 914 that allow pad replacment as easy as in the Land Rover??? BMW 320i brakes on the front... not much to do about the back though.. or do a 5-lug conversion and use 911 brakes all around... |
