thanks for the help

[Carolyn's 911]

Last week I posted a question about backfiring on a 1970 911T. I would like to thank publically the many people that responded to my question. Allenk, Garrett, ruf-porsche 549, and T-Bird (from the archives). Those of you who helped realize that I am a beginner. The good news is that I was able to understand your kind instructions and the car has never run better! Most of the backfiring is gone! The sheriff has not been here this week (I have to drive the car daily). Thanks for all the help. I hope someday I can return the favour.

Great news! And the solution was???

Problem was partially my fault and remainder due to lack of knowledge. Boiled down to properly balancing the webers. I re-built them some time ago, but never understood how to balance. The posts helped greatly. Next is valve job. It's so nice to have the car running close to potential!

I hope by a "valve job" you are refering to adjusting your valves (lots of time, little money) , not getting the heads renewed (lots of time, lots of money).

Yes, adjusting the valves. Time is the problem. Spent today tearing down the brakes for inspection (they're fine) and adjusting the clutch. Clutch is better now, but probably can be fine tuned more
