I noticed that the battery cables on my '78 924 NA mount on the side (GM-style). Is this stock, or has it been converted at some point? Every other non-GM I've ever seen has top-post.

I'm reminded of the comedian who said he was tired of going through divorces, so now he just finds a woman he likes and gives her a house. Pursuing the course you described will cost you as much as a ...

As a joke, my brother used to hang a pair of panty hose over his fireplace
before Christmas. He said all he wanted was for Santa to fill them. What
they say about Santa checking the list twice must ...

Thanks for your response. Since I'm running Weber carbs, I assume that the vaccuum advance is not functional. Was this part of the emission control system, or was there some other purpose?

I went with 40DCOE's from Fast Freddy's. There's an installation kit that you can get that works well. The support for the throttle return spring was too soft, so I replaced it with a thicker piece ...

The Bosch K-Jetronic system was a response to US emissions requirements. Contrary to it's name, it is not electronic, but is in fact mechanical fuel injection. This was the best option available at ...

Don't try to salvage an electronic fuel injection system from another car and install it. Instead, buy a Megasquirt kit. Hire someone to install it that can give references. Get a written estimate ...

When I bought my '78 924 NA, it hadn't run in many years. After looking into the cost of replacing parts in the Bosch K-Jetronic system, I converted to 40DCOE Webers. I have been very pleased with t ...

Having been involved in V8 transplants before, I can testify that the engineering required exceeds that of the average mechanic. If you're going that route, I strongly recommend buying a kit from a r ...

A customer's boyfriend stopped by my office to show me his '85 944. I asked him about the engine, and he said it was a 4-liter. I was surprised, since I thought these all had a 2.5-liter. He opened ...

My mirror does not have power adjust, or heat. I had this same problem with a Suzuki Samurai several years ago. Just gave up using the mirror. It's a lousy design if you ask me. On my late-model s ...
