wrong badge?

hi all,

simple question I think, anyway

my 1972 911 has a T after it's number ok. so it's a 911T, however mechanic says not so, as it has mechanical fuel injection so it's an E as E stands for well , something German meaning injection. Is he right in which case why would it have the wrong badge on it ?

TTFN

US 2.4T models (up until mid-way thro' the '73 model year) had mfi whereas Euro 2.4T's had Zenith carbs.

This model is sometimes called a T/E

Hey Mike,
Your cooling shroud is yellow right? in which case Nick and Andy are on the money, It is a U.S. Spec 72 T, or TE as they are sometimes called

Viv, I thought the 73.5 runs on K-Jet (CIS) doesn't it?

Darren's on the 73.5 money - US 73.5 2.4T cars went CIS, but interestingly (or not), the injectors were still in the cylinder heads a la MFI's, whilst for the 2.7 models, the injectors moved to the intake manifolds.

Can I have my anorak back now please?
