I've spent a lot of time the past few days poking around the engine compartment of my new (old) 73E with a 70 2.2 S engine. I just realized a couple of things are missing, and was wondering how critical they are....
Both items of concern are on the Pelican exploded view at
http://www.pelicanparts.com/911/911_Parts/1969/fuel_injection_big.htm
First, the angled air-intake pipe to the filter (exploded item 40) isn't there. How critical is it other than to avoid the possibility of water entering? I park underground, and have no intentions of driving in the rain. Either way, I should probably replace it. Any idea where I can find one?
And second, the actuating screw and locknut for the speed switch (exploded item 51) are missing. I hope this explains my 'farting' at idle and deceleration. Is there are reason for these to have been removed? Anything I should be aware of before I replace them? And the silly question, what size screw/locknut do I need? And finally, is the correct adjustment procedure to screw down until the switch engages at idle, then turn the screw another 1/2 to 3/4 turn and tighten the locknut?
Thanks in advance,
Dave...
P.S. Still looking for spark plug and oil recommendations for this engine. Grade and conventional vs. synthetic. Will be VERY low use vehicle (mostly weekend cruising), fair-weather only in Toronto.
