Please let me know if I have this right:
1) Original /6 cars came with Porsche's electronic ignition module of the time i.e. the BZK module, as opposed to only super-basic Kettering (sp?) points. 2) Fuel was carbs, of course, but there was an additional cranking enrichment which necessitated a thermotime switch, a "dashpot" on the throttle somewhere and perhaps a couple of other electrical widgets. I'm trying to make sense of the engine wiring harness that I have, which is from a /6. Thank you. Michel |

Don,
You mean the system was designed to dump fuel down the carbs even after cranking ? Yikes. Thanks for the info, gentlemen, this will give me more confidence as I wire my engine compartment. Cheers, Michel |
