Disassembled, cleaned, lubed, and reassembled the door handles, locks, and latches on both sides. Unbelievable difference.

A few days old, but put in 1.8 original distributor (0 231 181 009) a few days ago with a Pertronix 1847V Ignitor and engine ran like new - for about 15 minutes.

Suddenly cut off, and as I suspected, the Ignitor died. Returning for warranty claim- Pertronix agreed it was installed correctly - and no, module was not over-heating - but they are wanting to blame my Bosche Ultra plug wires - as it cannot be found anywhere what they really are......

Got the '73 car titled, tagged and insured then took it out for a drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
Then did a quick polish on the dull paint to make it look somewhat better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
When my wife got home, took her for a drive around the "country block" just so she could see what she was in for (she hasn't been in a 914 for a long, long, long time). She approved of the top off but wondered about the noise when I accelerated (carbs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) )
Should be an interesting trip to Florida.

To keep the marriage intact, buy her some good earplugs.

With my carbed-6 I find earplugs essential if driving for longer than a half hour. Ringing ears are no fun.

26 years later I have the tools and time to work on the 914. Found a previous repair that isn’t too much of a surprise. The rocker covers were held in by drywall screws and caulk.

You might look into fabricating a quieter filter housing arrangement. There's a mod that utilizes a couple of Honda Godlwing air-boxes that supposedly reduced the intake noise substantially.

Also, CB Performance also has some nifty carb components to help one fabricate quiet but still efficient options. A couple of these plumbed to a remote filter will help reduce the decibel level too.

Worked on the headlights on the GT car, cleaned up the ground stud behind the bucket a bunch using a dremel and a tiny brass wire wheel, it made it better but the when I connect a headlight on the drivers side its still obviously under powered. Might have to replace the headlight plug next, anyone have this problem before?

Yes, they came from Car-bone. has the exact imprinting and the circular cuts that make it almost impossible to remove with out ruining it.

I will get the rest of the stickers later but only one in the US that has the door jam compliance sticker is AASE and its 2x as much and I bet they get it from Car-bone anyway, took less than a week and I had it here from Poland!!

I wanted them before Amelia Island and Werks reunion. Very happy with it.

Hi Eric9144 - I am sure you already did this but did you try swapping the headlights side to side just to be sure it's a car problem and not a headlight problem? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yes, I did try that. Problem is @ the bucket not the headlight itself.

It was sunny and almost warm so I drove up to see RichD at 914Werke to BS and see if he still had that bronze shift console bushing. Met Alan too..

drove it to work and post office (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Later I will set the idle down cause when the mechanic advanced the timing after installing elec. ignition he said probably needs to be done, Idles at 16 what would be best?, 11-12?
