I ran through the vacuum tubing AGAIN. All of the tubing was intact. However, I found that a one-way valve in the vacuum line to the left of the starter was clogged with what looked like oil!? I blew it out, hooked it all up, and it runs great. Thanks for the tip. Bizarre - some cheap plastic one way valve. Dunno how oil could have gotten into that line. Wish there was an easier way to put the throttle body back in place - what a PIA!!! The ignition switch makes sense - though another frustration with Porsche that after only 51K miles something like that needs to be replaced. My 68 911 with 90 K miles is still working fine on the first one. I ordered the parts from Pelican - along with an AutoEnginuity setup.

Having worked with air cooled 911's my entire adult life, there is much to be said for the relative simplicity of those engines!
Thanks again for the tip.
