Great Looking car!! You can be proud of that find. Where are you located? I live in Hemet, CA 29 miles west of Palm Springs at 1800 ft elevation. I have all the elements 100+ degrees in the summer to 40 degrees in the winter. I go to all the club meetings in Orange county at sea level to 8000 ft at Lake Arrowhead.

I had a nightmare of a problem with the Empi's because the adjustments do not remain consistent. I took it to a Porsche Weber Guru and we put on the dyno and plotted the flows. The results indicated a change. The velocity stacks were also wrong. The popping thru the carbs (lean pop) even burned my K&N air filters. Lucky I didn't have a fire. When we richened the mixture to stop the popping it fouled the plugs and started backfiring on deceleration.

The new Webers solved the problem.

Why don't you join the 912 Registry. It is a fantastic club and the amount of knowledge and experience in this group is unlimited. I have owned my '68 since 1971 and I have learned more from this group in the last 4 years than anywhere else. I found them when I started on my total restoration in 2003.
