Just purchased a 1979 911 SC with 103k miles on it.
Purchased from my cousin and the car had a good bit of documentation.
I used this site extensively to research before the purchase, thanks a ton to Pelican and this forum.
Good news is the car had all of the recommended work completed on it. Upgraded chain tensioners, pop off valve, AC converted to 134 and the list goes on. Totally excited about the new ride, always wanted one. Yes the car had a crappy paint job a few years back and I will need to address that. One Club member suggested it would not be noticed at 150 mph…
Bad news is I backed it out of the garage yesterday and now it will not crank?? The blower motor for the heater is not working and I noticed that one wire was disconnected, so plugged it up and tried to crank the car. It acted like it wanted to crank, a few cylinder fires, but no go. Disconnected the wire and still no go. Battery was turning the motor over no problem but does not want to crank. Thought I smelled gas so left it alone over night but still no go this morning.
Will start with spark tonight and begin to narrow the search down from there. Suggestions??
Thanks again for the great site and forum. Will surly spend a few bucks here.
