Questions for Model Year '1967'
I recently Rock Hill SC and I'm looking for a shop that is familiar with early air cooled 911's. If anyone knows of any shops in the Charlotte area they could recommend it would be greatly appreciated. My current need is to have my Webers adjusted on both my 67 with a 2.4 and my 78 Sc with it' original 3.0 now with Webers fine tuned. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

The 1967 has a fresh rebuilt 2.7 still being broken in. The Webers have also been re-jeted for a 2.4 with the performance mods that were done. The carbs worked well on the 2.2 that was in the car previously so I am hopeful it just needs some fine tuning to get the backfiring to calm down. I was also told that the distributor may need to be recurved if anyone has any recommendations for where I can get that done. The 78 SC has also developed a burbel and small backfire that should be addressed ...
READ ANSWERConverting short wheelbase 911 to long wheelbase. I know I need to replace the swb trailing arms with the longer aluminum banana arms and lwb spring plates. I have heard that the pivot points for the banana arms must be relocated? I have also heard they are fine where they are? Also, the upper shock mounts must be moved? If so, can you provide the specs? Thank you for your help.

I have a set of 6x15 Fuchs that I'm having restored. I'd like to have them painted to look like the 4.5x15s that came on a '67 S. I have a picture of the wheels on the 1967 911S at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart that shows the small black areas inside the spokes near the lug nuts with the tops of the spokes and the rims appearing to be highly polished. The other areas appear to be either painted grey or are left with a matte finish on the alloy. If it is paint, can you give ...

READ ANSWERWeber Carb air correction screw
Sunday 04/07/2019 | 1967 | Fuel System
The air intake velocity on the three barrels of one weber carb is not equal! Does turning in (clockwise) the air correction screw increase or decrease the air flow in that barrel? Should I adjust them all to the one with the highest or lowest air flow?

Friday 04/05/2019 | 1967 | Engine
Does turning in (clockwise) the ideal mixure screw make the car run richer or leaner. Cylinder number 3 is running too lean as the spark plug is a light orange color almost light rust color while all the others are a light gray with very little dry soot.
READ ANSWER1967 911S timing
Wednesday 12/05/2018 | 1967 | Engine
I was wondering what the timing should be on a 1967 911S. My car is current at 10deg BTDC at 900 rpm and then advances to 30-35 deg BTDC at 2500 rpm and then stays at 35 deg BTDC at 6000 rpm. The shop manual says to just set it at 35 deg BTDC at 6000 rpm and no mention of what it should be at idle. Also is it normal for the distributor to advance timing so early at just 2500rpm?
READ ANSWERIgnitor Electronic Ignition, 911S, (1967)
Sunday 10/28/2018 | 1967 | Electrical
I have a 1967 911S and I'm thinking of changing the points to an electronic point system. Pelican parts sell a Pertronix Ignitor Electronic Ignition. Will this work with my original coil or will I need a pertronix flame thrower coil. I'm not sure if the voltage to the coil drops to 6V once the engine starts. If so I would need to run a wire from the ignition switch to the coil as they tell me the coil needs 12v for a hotter spark ( I think it drops to 6V on some cars to save the points). If a ...

READ ANSWER901 Transaxle rebuild
Thursday 10/19/2017 | 1967 | Transmission/Clutch
I am considering undertaking a transaxle rebuild myself. I have rebuilt Japanese and British transmissions so I have a good understanding of the process. My trans. shifts fine but is noisy, so I believe my quest is mainly for bearing replacement, possibly including differential carrier bearings. Can you tell me what special tools I will need to dismantle and reassemble it, and possibly where to source these tools? Also, is it necessary to disasemble the syncro hubs/sliders to accomplish this ...
