I have made a bold assumption that the spare harness that came with my car is correct for the year/type. I don't know but will find out as I start going through it. I know there was a donor '72 coupe a couple of owners back... I have pictures of it. So, I hope the harness is from that car.
But you know, it wouldn't be a good project (puzzle?) without surprises... it also looks like there was a SWB (probably a '67) at some point in time. I have horn grills, turn signals and seats from a '67... I guess the harness could be too. In the coming months, I'll pull it out and start looking. Will post pics of it when the time comes.
Big question of the day for the resident experts (if any happen to be reading my humble thread): The transaxle bolted to my 2.4T motor is a 902/1... the case is stamped as a '67. Obviously, it is not the "correct" transmission.
But will it work? I have read threads here that suggest it can easily handle whatever extra torque might come out of the larger displacement engine, although some of the books I have read suggest that Porsche developed the 915 to have a more robust solution for increasingly more powerful engines. Opinions?
A sub-question to that is: when did Porsche start installing 915s? The car is a '73 by VIN with a build date of 7/72. The engine is a '72 by number (612XXX).
Thanks for reading and your opinions. I hope by starting this thread that I can eventually contribute something meaningful from this forum that I take so much from... If nothing else, maybe I can amuse the readers of it with some of my follies down the road
