Theo, thanks for the tour and dinner. See in in Sonoma.

Andy, I know you're a competitor. I can't forget you.

Here's the start of my engine tin, ala Root.
I had a piece of tin off a stove that protected it before install and piece of copper that already had the bend in it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I'll drill the holes and paint it tommorrow with high temp BBQ paint ( FBF ) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

aren't you forgetting someone ?


How could anyone ever forget you Andy?

The next couple of years are going to be really fun, now we have all the 914 Club people running.

With the Sac chapter of PCA running in Stockton, LPR at the Marina, GGR at Alameda and Monster Park and Zone 7 events we could be running every other weekend.

Bring lots of money for tires Andy.

My prevoius alternator problems are all squared away now!
No scraping and full 14.15 volts of charge.

The engine idles better and ramps up high rpms without the flutter with the full voltage to the coil. Very exited. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

I should start tearing down the car on the 20th if all goes well. I'll take the rest of the year off of work to finish the build up.

These clients want their tile work finished. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Can you believe that?

So, looks like Dec 27th now. Driving by midnight Dec 31st seems impossible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

KT, are you running the engine on the ground?

I am thinking about doing that but would like to hear of any issues you had first.

Cheers

Why, yes. I do run the engine right there on the ground. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

You need some simple test items.
Test exhaust ( see above ), trans bell housing, starter, oil tank and lines, test starting wire harness, fuel tank, fuel pump, and a battery.

In the picture, the blue junction box has a start switch and a coil/fuel pump power switch.

The engine will run smooth on the bench without dancing all over the place. I revved mine well over 6000 rpms with NO problems.

I'm all done testing, so it's all off now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Here's the business end (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Since our last visit more parts are off:

Muffler, muffler hanger, fuel lines, clutch cable, speedo cable, throttle cable, pass side injector harness, C.V. joints, shifter rod, battery cable and some more wires.

Hmmm... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Can I drop it tonight?
I'll be out for a few hours before I can re-engage.

Thanks, Craig, Marty.
FOUR is under a tarp and the SIX is still in the shed!

This week I hope to do the battery tray repair and cut the holes for the oil tank and install it. Plumb for cooler.

I have a little rust repair to do as well.

Tomorrow, I hope to split the trans away from the FOUR and store them away.

I am waiting to hear if a racing pressure plate is available to me or not. ( lightened/balanced/high pressure unit )

If not the clutch and pressure plate on the FOUR came off the SIX.

I may make the 12/31/04 midnight goal yet...

Stay tuned.

KT

"I" notch the arms so that the lid slips on w/o having to completely pull the bolts out. Makes it easier (can be done with one person) to reinstall as well.
