Another day waiting for my shop to tell me when to bring my car down for the installation of the new engine.

Damn those are sexy looking motors both the 4 and 6. I think you'll like them more once you get them dirty in your car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) RIP Tom Petty

Took the '73 for a quick errand to the local Walgreens. Parked off in the corner and some chick in a SUV flagged me down all excited and said she wanted to buy my car...
Told her it was like 45 years old and she said she was 49 so that was fine. These cars are a conversation starter for sure!

Philip, I have the same problem with my wife. She thinks the 914 is a tin can. That's why you get a 993 with AC; comfortable car to take Wifey around in.

Your setup with the Webbers looks like mine.....I was told I need to install a pressure regulator after the fuel pump to limit the pressure to the carbs. I have a new regulator that came with the car.

Do you or anyone else know what the max. pressure should be for these carbs? in psi?

TIA,

GN

true- i now have a boxster lol! actually the second one- i tried getting her a Cayenne but she didnt like it. she does like driving stick so i figured if i could get her to try the Panomara she might change her mind. its not aircooled, but neither is my Boxster- she went from the Jaguar to a Lexus 400h, but misses the performance of the Jag ! i actually think she would like the Macan Turbo, kind of combines the best of both however i cant afford one at this point yet. For now a ride in the boxster will have to do.

I run a Carter 3.5psi pump with the 'BB (carb'd), no regulator needed ... but I used to run the 30psi pump and ran the carbs in series, then used the return line from the second carb back to the fuel tank - didn't use a regulator then either.

My pump is a Carter as well - are all Carter's 3.5psi? PO told me the regulator needed to be installed. Since the Porsche dealer put the Webber's on, I would have thought that if a regulator was needed, they would have installed it.....

Thanks!

Roughed in my radiator mount. Welding skills getting better ever since I hooked up Mig gas shielding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)



Is that radiator properly supported on the bottom or are you just using the fan mounts. I can't tell from your pic????
