I have a few different questions that I need help with on my 1971 - 911T that is currently being restored.
1). I just received the COA on the vehicle and everything checks out except I do not understand the type wheels listed as 'Pressure Cast Wheels 5.5 J x 15'. The car currently has imitation Fuchs wheels on it but I've been told that the 'correct' wheels would be the Mahle gas burners? Another bit of feedback I got was that the 'cookie cutter' wheel would be correct. Is there a definite 'correct' wheel type?
2). The 40 TIN Zenith carbs have been re-built but as you increase the throttle lever by hand from idle to approx. 2000 rpm...there is 'poping' sound coming from the carbs. The CDI box is new as are the plugs, points, cap & rotor. The problem is worse when the engine is cold but above 2000 rpm it does not make the sound and runs well. I've tried adjusting the carbs per the article I found on the TIN's but cannot seem to get it resolved. The only thing I have not replaced are the wires. Any thoughts?
3). The car has 59,500 original miles on it and I decided to replace the valve cover gaskets. I bought what was sold as an OEM set but I cannot get them to stop leaking. I have torqued them with the correct pattern. Starting out at 12 inch lbs...then 18...still leaking and now up to about 22. I'm afraid to go any higher but the oil seems to be seaping down a couple of the lower bolts / washers. Are there better gasket sets (perhaps silicone) that will prevent this?
4). Lastly, I have replaced the wiper motor, both the relays and the stalk for the wipers and in the 'off' position, they 'dock' on the drivers side. In most of the pictures I've seen, they should be on the passenger side? Is this correct...if so...how this get corrected? All positions of the switch work fine.
Well...that it for now. Any and all imput is greatly appreciated!
