SC heat backdate. Any downside?
Considering a heat backdate for my 79 SC. Are there any downsides to this change?
I know this is a normal modification but I recall some info about a reduction of engine cooling air and in heat/defrost flow inside the car. Since heat/defrost is a requirement, I don't want to impact that much. Engine overheat is a more critical issue as I'm currently installing an elephant radiator/fan etc to reduce temperatures. Porsche evolved these systems to improve cooling and interior heating and I would certainly be unhappy if my radiator upgrade was marginalized by a visual/access improvement to the engine bay
Do the current Pelican parts replacing the tin behind the distributor fit properly or do they require "modification" or reshaping to give clearance to the cap and wires? Are there other options for a better fit?
30+ years with this jewel and I've discovered a few downsides to my "improvements" that were unanticipated. Just wanting to go into this one fully prepared. Thanks to all the Pelicans who document and post their knowledge so I can accomplish tasks that are way outside my comfort level
