OK Time for another update - I have been slow working on the 911 lately.

I have the carbs rebuilt and started with F1 emulsion tubes, 180 air correctors, 55 idle jets, 130 mains. I did find a lot of dirt in the carbs along with a host of other problems. I ran it for a while last night and it sounds better than ever. This weekend I am going through the adjustments of float, accellerator pump, balance etc. Then I can start putting some miles on it to see how my choice of jetting was.

I did check the vacuum on all cylinders at idle and 3,000 and lo and behold all 6 are pulling the same amount of air. The reason I had such low vacuum on number 6 was due to the fact that there were 1/4" spacers/insulators under cylinder 4 and 5 but not 6. Hence the vacuum leak.

Zendalar, I don't know if this would be the same on you car or not. All I can say is I had this apart two other times and NEVER noticed the missing spacer. Thankfully, I did not crack the intake bolting it down.

I did manage to install my new oil line, adjusted the valves and fixed a few other things.

Stay tuned (bad pun) for another update. It looks like I can at least dirve it some before snow flies. I can finish the interior over winter.

Thanks again for all the advice.
