Sounds like a bad check valve between the fuel pump and fuel distributor slowly bleeding off the internal fuel pressure.

Vapor honing (vapor blasting) cleans up the aluminum and makes it look like it just came out of the foundry. DO NOT glass bead it.

As far as fronts go, I just pulled these parts off my '82 924 turbo (a tree fell on the car). What I kept are the front spindles, calipers backing plates and hubs. You are welcome to them if you dec ...

I second what Vaughan said but have further advice. I'm 78 and started racing when I was 30. I was a runner for about 30 years but stopped at 68 cuz my knees bothered me. I still walk the dogs dail ...

I was racing a 6 cyl Mercedes Benz some years back and wanted to upgrade the crank fire. The Benz had 3 pins on its flywheel for the electronic pickup. I had a machinist install 35 pins on the fron ...

I build engines for the 356, 912 and early 911 crowd and the 356 fellows are much more loath to hop up their engines than the 911 guys. In either case, if the chassis is a desirable one, the owners a ...
