If you hook an ammeter into the system with the ignition off, you can see the clock tick - the solenoid pulling the spring tight again. Not much current, though.

Still, batteries self discharge,...

I did this a couple of times last fall, starting at the track. Wasn't hard to drive out (but yours may have rusted in place).

I think it is a good idea, as otherwise only the circlip holds the...

A bit crude, but you could add a washer.

Spark plug washers have some mystery to them. Some authorities say you should use new washers each time you have the plugs out. The regular plug washer...

My assumption is that forging is done with a die of some sort. Not like the guys on TV making flat objects like swords with hammers on their anvils. That would lead to center marks. The forging is...

Great photos!

Now you get to see just how good JB Weld is by gluing it all back together?

Good advice, Ed. You are reporting misbehavior in a specified engine RPM range. The CIS system doesn't know, in a sense, what your RPMs are. It knows closed throttle, part throttle, and wide open...

Carl - to the best of my knowledge those pieces are forged, not cast, steel. Where fractured they had visible grain, and looked nothing like what cast iron looks like when fractured.

Very odd situation. There isn't any reason to remove the steering wheel often. I can't recall if the stock wheel system is keyed or not.

What caused you to have the wheel removed? That might...

As Henry notes, your '74S came (most likely) with the same header design as the SSIs. Those don't rust, and look better, but don't function better. A better functioning header costs a lot more.

I see what you are thinking. These look a lot like the coil packs used in waste spark crank fire systems - three coils for six plugs (or double that if twin plug). In a waste spark system, the...

I've been interested in beehive springs since I first read about them in Circle Track (RIP) years ago. The assertion is that they don't need a two spring system to deal with harmonics and...

WUR differences

Tony recently noted that two WURs with different Bosch part numbers (072 and 090) are, in fact, identical. I've long wondered just what the detailed differences between one WUR model and an other...

CHT?

But maybe the tach which didn't bounce points to the start position of the ignition switch failing? You can replace the electrical switch part without having to remove the lock part.

So - is the area where the piston moves up and down the area which looks funny? If what you are worrying about is lower down, below the lowest piston travel, it isn't going to affect oil pressure. ...

Dave - It would be nice if Porsche would release the schematic for the Lambda CIS ECU.

Rather than considering shuffle pins for the case halves, you ought to think of bushings - tubes around the through bolts. Like what Porsche does for the #1 main bearing. There is a trick which...
