The car has also undergone a bit of lightening...
It had several pounds of dirt packed in behind the rocker covers.  |

Good looking tub! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I will be watching and following along your build.
As for 911 A arm, no they do not have the same splines as the 914. Best to find a good set of 914 A-arms with the U tabs for the sway bar. BTW, stock torsion bars are typically worn due to rubber bushings deformation and bars rubbing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Out of five sets I had, only one was good...

Agree with Montreal914 that the original sway bars are often ready to be replaced.
You can still get them new directly from SwayAway: Stock 914 17.9mm Torsion Bars |

Thanks for the input, fellas.
I will do my best to keep the thread up to date. Last week I stumbled upon a set of NOS Weber IDA's for not too much money. Last night I swapped out the chokes and jet pack. I'm hopeful this fixes my suspected fueling issues. I guess I'll find out over thanksgiving. |

Okay, I could use a bit of help, please...
I've spent the last couple of days with Covid in the garage disassembling and cleaning brakes. Can anyone enlighten me as to how I remove the parking brake lever assembly? I thought that the spring, hat, and circlip within the caliper body might somehow be retaining it, but I've removed those. The lever, while turning freely, still won't slide out of its bore....   |

If you have removed the clip in the groove at the bottom of the bore, then the threaded adjuster shaft can be pulled out; It is packed with grease, so it takes a bit of force.
To remove the parking brake lever, first acquire the correct rebuild kit with the frost plug. You have to cut the frost plug, and twist it out with significant force. Then remove the clip holding the shaft in place. Some sources supply an O-ring to replace the original seal. That helps, but I also use a garden hose flat ring just under the lever arm; some fit better than others, and some are up to the heat while others may not be.  |
