SteveT Posted 25June, 2014 Report Share Posted 25June, 2014 Might leave it as is for a while and see what happens. There's a lot of sets of points @$20 a pop in the price if the Pertronix set up. Caledonian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 26June, 2014 Report Share Posted 26June, 2014 Drove it to work. Not much of a drive but I figured the old duck needed a run to charge the Battery seeing as it's not been out again after the mid-week SMT we did ages ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911oclock Posted 26June, 2014 Report Share Posted 26June, 2014 Car is back from T&D, would you believe a new set of points fixed it? Did the Back fire damage anything upwind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted 26June, 2014 Report Share Posted 26June, 2014 Car is back from T&D, would you believe a new set of points fixed it? Bonus is that I now have some history on the vehicle as they had been looking after it for the previous owner and gave me a print out of the work done. Quite an extensive list. Good info like the fact that it has a 915 LSD and was previously a Sporto. New clutch not so long ago. New brake lines, front calipers etc etc. And my Wevo short shift arrived in the post today so project for the weekend. Well thats a great outcome! and no more misfire too......

SteveT Posted 27June, 2014 Report Share Posted 27June, 2014 Did the Back fire damage anything upwind? Nothing. Apparently with new points you have to really clean them and make sure there is absolutely no moisture around. And emery paper is a no no. High tech! I though points loved a good emery rub to clean them up but wrong again it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 4July, 2014 Report Share Posted 4July, 2014 Last night I arrived home at the same time as my neighbour. He had his two young grandsons staying for the school hols. I had a chuckle to see them hanging out the car windows trying to get a better look at my car as I turned into my drive. They'd been looking (don't touch!) at Maseratis at the local dealer earlier in the day so I figured I could do better. I took each for a quick ride around the local back streets.. Good fun.

Guest Harold Posted 5July, 2014 Report Share Posted 5July, 2014 On Wednesday I drove the car for the first time in a month. Went from home to terrey hills and back, the princely total of 21 kms. Then we went out on the boat and I probably won't sit in it again for a few weeks. Still, it is nice to look at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 6July, 2014 Report Share Posted 6July, 2014 Monthly coffee/cars , only the hardy souls were out in the rain today. It was a case of blueblueblueblueblueblueblue. Gotta love the tarp ; can't see the bilge pump though. Just like my great uncle's in the 50s Ducktail on a shark? The Tidal Pools sculpture , formerly in the Sydney CBD , by recently deceased sculptor Stephen Walker. I learnt about timing chain gears on a '34 Riley Brooklands today. It's good to get amongst the wise ol' owls now and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew F Posted 6July, 2014 Report Share Posted 6July, 2014 We went to look at a house in littlehampton, then for a quick squirt over to Hahndorf with the intention of having lunch. It was busy as. Ended up doing a bit of shopping in the German store instead. Now tucking in to some wurst & sauerkraut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 Drive and lunch with an old colleague and mentor whom I hadn't seen for 15 years. Of course he had plenty of stories , and I had always admired the 928S he bought new in '86. He sold a lot of shares on a whim , paid $141,000 (in '86) , and in 87 the shares previously worth $1.20 had crashed to 5c. He made a smart intuitive decision and the car is still his It has the later 32v engine but otherwise is pretty similar. Took him for a drive and mine is , er much louder. Also the secret kickdown solenoid is non-operational in his car (as was mine until I discovered it) - I promised to fix it before his 81st birthday as he enjoyed the G forces in mine. Here are the cars making friends. There will be more meetings... Good times! ByronBayChris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike737 Posted 13July, 2014 Report Share Posted 13July, 2014 Yesterday I went down to Cars and Coffee Melbourne which gave me a bit of a run but got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway through the city which left me yearning for a longer run later in the day but before I knew it the day was over. This morning headed up to Sherbrooke in the Dandenongs for some breakfast and it was so nice the day turned into a full days driving winding my way up to Seville, then Healsville to Warburton then back through Gembrook, Belgrave and the home in Burwood. Total kms for the weekend was a bit over 250! Now to make up for the housework that I didn't do whilst I was playing with my Porsche 9fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
