I spent almost an hour on this. First I chased the threads, but no luck. Then I used my Dremel to chamfer the first threads in the cap and on the angle drive. I got it started straight, and it held for about two turns--yay! But as I screwed it tight, it cocked twisted again. Fudge!

I will probably hold just fine, but this will bother me and my OCD.


I had the same problem with mine, tried several times with no luck and the same issues as yours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Finally one day I crawled back under held my tongue a certain way, the planets aligned, the Speedo Gods had mercy and the damn thing went on correctly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I was so happy for this small issue to be behind me.
So don’t give up on it just yet.

Cheers,
John

wow! been watching your build and give us encouragement and learned a lot from your detailed informations.
I just want to ask if the bolt/nut for tranny mount is better that the nut is on top or the usual from various 914 that the nut is at the bottom?

I am with you on this. I would be awake nights wracking my brain about why it is not going on straight.....

I followed the geometry shown in the factory parts catalog. And with the nut on top, I can remove the bolt without removing the mount--not sure if this will be helpful in the future or not.

With a few more parts, I am ready to start the "final" wiring for the EFI system. Here the dual bus and cover I got from McMaster-Carr, and some small gauge ring terminals.

I decided on this layout, L to R: the tach signal adapter, the O2 sensor controller, and the double bus.

Now its just one wire at a time, after confirming which wire goes where. I am soldering the terminals on to avoid future problems.

I added some electrical tape along the exposed edge of the relay box, since the wires will hang over the edge.

That's enough for today, with the connections done for the O2 system and the coil.

Just a few more wires run today. The device on the left is the rpm signal converter, with the cover removed.

So that's all the various boxes and components connected. Now for the cables from the engine sensors.

Whew. After a solid 5 hours, everything is connected. For each cable, I trimmed back the mesh cable cover, then covered the raw mesh end with heat-shrink, and trimmed and tinned each wire end before making the screw connection on the relay board.

Once I confirm that the engine runs again, I will tidy this up a bit.

And here's the waste from shortening the cables.

One last wire had to be resolved, and the Dub Shop schematics did the trick. I am 99% confident I have every connection as Mario designed. (But when my son helped with temporary connections for the first engine start a couple of weeks ago, we had 2 wires from the Hall sensor reversed. Hmm)

With everything connections, I turned the key to Run--no flames or explosions. But since I changed the oil and filter, I want to get oil circulating again.
