Mystery wire seems to be from the voltage regulator.* It goes into the DF terminal on the older alternators... researching... looks like that wire is not use in the newer alternators and it is just left like that and not connected to anything.

Local shop was able to redo my fuel lines... they could not crimp to original specs so the ended up brazing adapters and making standard lines... With this done I should be able to install the engine and transmission back this weekend. Woohooo!

Worked on separating the stock oil lines from the side loop/cooler... man those were stuck tight!!* Several cycles of heat and WD-40... at the end I placed the line on the floor and held the wrench on the fixed side while hitting the other wrench with a mallet.. broke loose without much force.* Now working on cleaning them. Using scotch brite pad and WD-40 (might switch to Simple Green if it works faster, need to test)...

One down, one more to go... and forget the WD-40... the best thing to use is Goo Gone!! Wish I had started with that and I would have gotten both done today...

Man, wish I had been as organized as I was with the 912...

My 1967 912 Build Thread

When I took this one apart I did not organized the hardware in different backs/boxes... so guess what? Can't find squat! Had to order new bolts for the brackets that hold down the lines in place and also the two clamps needed...

1 - Rear Clip to Attach Oil Line Part #: 999-511-080-02-OEM
1 - Front Clip to Attach Oil Line Part #: 999-511-084-02-OEM
3 - Tapping Screw Part #: 900-187-032-02-OEM

This build is not like my 912 build... with the 912 I went overboard with every nut, bolt, hardware, etc. reconditioned... on this one, I just did the minimum... and now I am regretting it... eventually I will come back and do it all again and power coat and recondition everything nut and bolt... but for now, I just want to finish it and drive it!

Also had to order a few more items to finish the clutch install. The small cir-clips and hardware on the outside of the transmission... Also ordered a few more things to get the oil tank ready for installation. I need to finish cleaning it and put a coat of paint on it (was not going to risk having it powder coated)...

Second oil line cleaned and installed... still waiting for the bracket bolts to mount those...

Installed thermostat and lines... realized that the second line is not the correct one, that is the old line for the newer oil lines and I had backdated mine... and of course, can't find the correct line in the pile of parts that I have... so ordered a new one.

Oil tank reconditioned. Ordered a new oil level sender since the one in there was giving erratic measurements when I tested it... and now is the time to change all this...

Wachuko...beautiful work. Great vision.
I may have asked this before, but what kind of floor tile is that...ceramic or porcelain?

John, tiles are porcelain. Stronger and have handled dropping tools, hammers, metal grinding, etc. without issues. Best part is that I got them at local Home Depot for $0.78 per tile. I even drilled through them when installing the lift... pretty strong. Did the install myself over two weekends.

I really wanted a checkered floor...but that was outside of the budget.

Fiat is in need of a new home...have not had the chance to work on it. Wife is pushing me to get it on Craiglist... :(. Ignoring the request has worked so far...hehehhehe

Focus right now is to finish the SC... replace the transmission and rebuild the steering rack on the 964... the 912 is waiting for a friend to finish the body work...

Removed rear bumper to install some heat shield material... hope that is enough for the muffler to not damage the bumper...

Too many family related tasks that needed to be done today... could not get anything else done with the car... will continue tomorrow. SmileWavy

Almost done with the oil system... had an email exchange with Chuck from Elephant Racing, to make sure I had the front lines installed correctly. So that is done. For this I had to take the front bumper off so took the opportunity to install the turn signals.

Installed the bumper back and also installed the lower lip... less stuff on the floor and more on the car...
