I had been in the 911 all day as I went to the beach in it.
Shame to have missed you
Lots of noisy new cars there

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240416/5b39394aebc7fd262b84a5a4eff69e27.jpg I took my distributor apart just to see how difficult it would be to lock it and use a cdi+ advance curve. This is not the one on the car but the one I hoped to use before I found that I could not get the insulated conne...

Maybe there is someone out there who fitted breakerless points and removed the insulated block?

Re: Using a snap-on timing light

It has taken me a quite a while to get a photo of it but it is 0 231 184 001 which seems to a later version of the 169 008.168 009, 169 010 but with the points on the other side.
That is a very kind offer perhaps I could buy it off you if you have no use for it and you think it is ok?

Thought it was very nice even if as Neil says it is not what I thought it was but then I thought Andy’s 904 was lovely too.

Re: Using a snap-on timing light

Thanks I have not yet seriously looked at the distributor but it may be rubber ducked in more ways than just the springs so I was thinking that it might be a good idea to get it rebuilt first. Any recommendations for someone to rebuild it? I will take the cap off and see if there is any obvious slop...
