I sold the black 914 you see in the pics about a year ago and really miss it. Watching the recent threads of other conversions going together has giving me the bug again. And, what can one say about not having the rush of running a v8 powered 914 through its paces. Pictures were hard to come by when I built mine two years ago and the reason for taking so many when making progress on my car. If you need clarification on something, just ask. I'm no expert but did learn allot here and on the Bird site over time. John |

Thanks so much, again, for your help.
Tonight is great. I learned an engine can be adjusted to clear both the dizzy and the left valve cover. Mallory dual point BTW... =-) It fits perfectly now. Didn't have to cut out the trunk for the dizzy... and if anything happens with the dizzy, unlike any other HEI or electronic solution, I will know how to troubleshoot it in the middle of the night 1,000 miles from no where... LOL. Heck, I eye-balled the points gap AND the timing and it started right up. YEA BABY!

Can you pull the distributor out with the engine in the car?

FYI, EASY closes at 1pm on Saturdays... Damn it. LOL.....
I need to pick up that thing that goes on the end of the clutch cable to connect to the fork. Q: Can you pull the distributor out with the engine in the car? Good question.... I'll try tomorrow... =-) ... |

Distributor and passenger side valve cover can be pulled in some cases without actual removal of engine. For the tall valve cover on passenger side, you can remove two bolts securing transaxle to chassis and lower rear of drivetrain a couple of inches to make needed clearance. However, some tall valve covers will allow removal on passenger side without having to lower front of engine. You could take the same approach with the distributor by removing two securing bolts for engine bar and lowering front of drivetrain. Another approach would be to remove all 4 securing bolts holding drivetrain and shifting forward 2-3"........my point here is to avoid completely pulling drivetrain if at all possible. If you can get the dist. cap on and off without disturbing anything, I would not pull dist. if you already have it running right. Note: make sure your plug wires have the 90 degree fitting on dist. end. You'll need the added clearance when closing engine lid and trunk. While your working on the ignition fitment, have you decided what type of coil your going to use and where to mount? In my case, I purchased a coil that would only allow a vertical mounting but wanted a horizontal positioning in car. Since this was a mail order purchase, I ended up with two coils before getting it right. Once you get your throttle connected, get someone else to push throttle to floor while you check for WOT. This ususally needs adjustment the first time and you have some adjustment of the stop under throttle pedal. Have you lengthed your shift rod 3/4" yet? This will require some welding. Let me know if you need pics. CV bolts need special attention as well and you should be nearing that part of installation. If you have not reviewed this potential problem area, let us know. John |

HAhhahhahaaaa!
You guys crack me up. Yep, I'm kinda' getting wood thinking about that throttle linkage myself... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Sick puppy that I am. I have not addressed the shift linkage yet. Pics would be huge. Thanks John! Tonight: Fine tuning the throttle linkage. Start looking at the CV's... I might be missing some bolts for those.... Grrrrrr. PO had no organizational skills and I got this car w/ no engine or trans. And one box of bolts. All cables cut at the cockpit exit. I'm glad he didn't cut brake lines. I read somewhere that the CV's need gaskets???? At the mating surfaces? No? I tried one side already and the two steel alignment holes fit tightly. Whoops, here comes wood again.

lol.. I just took a nap, and I had a dream that you pulled up in Roger's drive, in a 6-speed 454 914 station wagon... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) When you got out, and went around back, you come out with this glowing orb, that weighs 38 grams... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) and say, "Here Roger, it's my latest sub-neutronic particle smasher, about 12,000 bhp at the tire.." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Roger looks all giddy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) and we stand there gawking at it's bright gold glowing... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif) ... then we broke off a little piece of it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) and smoked it.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) This is how all my nice dreams go.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) M |

Roger, This pic should give you the location of where to insert sleeve (3/4" O.D. steel tubing). 1-1/4" is the amount you want to lengthen it. Scribe a line at the location you want to make cut of shift rod. Cut your shift rod, insert new piece and use scribed line to line rod back up before welding. John Attached image(s)

Installed the new throttle cable minus attachment to carb.
Installed new clutch cable minus attachment to fork. Mad the pilgrimage to "Easy" this morning and picked up some little bits. Throttle cable screw holder thing that attaches cable to throttle linkage. Clutch cable end thing that goes inbetween cable and clutch fork. CV bolts. Played with the Easy dog. Got slobber on my work pants. All in all, a very good visit. Forgot to ask them if they had put together SirAndy's axle solution yet... =-) |

Hi Roger
You're using rubber mounts where the engine bar bolts up? I mount the bar solid to the body. |

Roger,
If you get a chance, add a pic of the washers your talking about. I am not getting a visual of the problem you suffered from. John |

Holy crap.
That's probably why I've noticed my engine sitting lower in the engine compartment.... (extra clearance) I wonder if this will throw off geometry of the rear wheels? I like the extra clearance but it makes sense that everyone else seems to not have the throttle cable coming out directly into the crank pulley issue that I had... |

I'll get that pic tonight. They came with the 911 motor mounts. They are larger and cupped. Not particularly thick. Large enough to entirely cover the rubber from above. |
