I have a couple of the turn signal lens gaskets, the original style and a repro from 914rubber. See if I can stop by late morning or might be after 2 or so. My right knee is good enough to drive again.

If anyone has a hot glue gun, it would be helpful for these led conversions.

Wanted to give a very special thanks and update.

We had a really good turn out. A very big thank you to users AZ914, Mike_Sandford, 914GT, 3d914, and Drifter914. Your presence, input, and elbow grease were so very much appreciated!!!

As an update, we hit a pretty big snag early on in the day. We tried turning the engine over but were unsuccessful. With eveyone's help, we dropped the engine and tranny, popped out the spark plugs and found signs of rust in cylinder 3 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

But a quick trip to the local auto store and picked up an bottle hone and cleared out the rust. A band aid fix for now....

By the end of the day we had the engine back in, L-jet system installed, had the stainless lines installed, got the driver side seat belt installed. But I mistakenly popped out the coil spring on the passenger side. Count that one up to user error! Debating whether I will try to recoil or find another. Interior carpet pulled. Bad windshield removed. Worked till about 1:30 am.

Today we got the fuel pump in, re-installed the air box, got the tank back in, closed up the remaining vacuum lines, and ran the fuel injection hosing.

Been a busy full two days!


None of which would have been possible for me without the help of my friend timothy_nd28. Many many thanks bud!

I have a set of belts that are fair on the retraction I can send you! Let me know.
Tim is the man!

So great to hear you had some great help from the World. This place rocks? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I was a bit too curious myself and turned my spring into a "birds nest". You can rewind it. It takes at least 2 people and 4 attempts, but it can be done.

Got a bunch done today. The interior is complete and the windshield is in. This afternoon the engine roared to life. However, it's not playing nice. I'm having issues getting this to tune correctly. It's not holding a idle correctly, starting to wonder if this engine has a non fuel injection cam.

Let me know if you need anything, like dwell/tach, timing light, vacuum/fuel pressure gauge, compression gauge or whatever. I also have an air flow gauge if you decide to put the carbs back on. I'm only 5 min. away.

Last day here in Tucson. My daughter and I will sadly miss this beautiful weather and our dear friends. Thanks again everyone for pitching in last Saturday.

The car was put back together, but I had failed to get this car to idle correctly. I pulled out some lifters to verify if they were hydraulic or not. During this process, I noticed that these solid lifters were brand new looking, with little to no wear. I came to the conclusion that the PO must of installed a carb cam, which was causing issues with my Ljet adjustments.

Even though it won't idle, it does pull strong above 2k.

JP has a lead on a used "stock" 1.8 in the area. His plan will be to obtain this engine and possibly install a bigbore kit along with the Ljet we already installed.
Maybe a future Saturday working party? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hey JP... You guys did an amazing amount of work after I left Saturday... & made some huge gains, up to actually driving it ! FYI... when I bought my 914 couple of years ago, it had stock FI engine & similar problem to what you describe. There are many , many possibilities re: it not wanting to idle or run at low rpm's & hauling ass at higher revs. I took off the FI & replaced with new Webers, now it purrs. Point is, problem may or may not be cam... you don't know, but IMHO the 1.7 engine you have may be worth keeping if you want to return it to a carb engine. Sure a lot easier at this point than the unknown 1.8 route. I've heard the 1.7 is the better engine of the two, also. If you do decide to scrap the 1.7, I'd be interested in buying the rockers w/ adjusters that are on it. Need a pait of Weber 40's... hahaha...Best wishes & stay in touch ! Terry
