Anyone have a good 911 salvage source for the older cars? Parts Haven is about all I knew and they closed up. Thanks!

WTB: Oil Tank for Sportomatic

Complete shot in the dark but does anyone have an oil tank for the sportomatic, specifically a 1973 T? Classic does not have this one available and the "retrofit" isn't what we'd like to do since...

That cable, along with the Y up to the battery, is what caused my fire in 2001. I welded a 3" section to my bellhousing and caught the main loom on fire. In stock form, none of the branches are...

Hi Everyone. I felt it was time for an update. I'm still slowing producing the kits but have had a few personal setbacks this year. As if Covid wasn't enough to deal with and the effect it has on...

The DME still sees the same firing points since the speed and reference sensors read the crank. The ignition timing doesn't change with the position of the cam, just the relative point of the rotor...

Given the shape of the rotor covers 30 or so degrees I don't think 4 degrees changes operation any unless you are running an incredible amount of advance or retard.

Your inner engineer should tell you that a woodruff key should bear no load so in essence your more expensive adjustable timing gear does the same thing at +/- 2 or 4 degrees. Just sayin. If that...

928 Motorsports has a stepped key that will give you 2 or 4 degrees +/-. Excellent bang for the buck if you're not changing cams.

Rislone ZDDP is relatively inexpensive at $8-10 around my area. To get 1600ppm, you'd need 18oz (7% total capacity). Each bottle is 11oz, so $20 of addative to your oil of choice would get it done.

Toe out is never good as any additional clearance will open it up further and make it less stable. For mostly street, a tenth in is the rule at our shop. Also, your thrust angle is as important as...

Delco is not GM. That would be similar to saying Bosch is Porsche. It is a manufacturer of many parts for many carmakers and they have an enormous aftermarket supply chain.

A little late to the party, but I used Yamabond 4 for my girdle and balance shafts 20 years ago (70k miles) and they stayed perfectly sealed.

I am not aware of chrome phone dials as a factory offering. The sewer lids on the 928 and D90's I think we're the two you could get.

That is my bearing of choice - OE 931 102 111 02 (some catalogues show 6202-2RSR). I've found it's a better fit than the Sachs or INA offerings. Also, +1 on the RMS fitment. Aftermarket seals are...

194 (3.8w) is what you want. 168 works too (4.9w) but they have been known to melt or distort the housings.

My opinion - most of the 18" wheels I've seen on 944/968 cars seem out of place since the car itself isn't that big. The super small sidewalls don't help either. 17" with a 40 sidwall seems to be the...
