Ok, back here again regarding the 6 carbs. I am currently rebuilding them and the new needle valves are 1.2mm but no rubber tips, just classic brass needles. Fortunately the carbs are in almost new condition and work is straightforward.

Re: Hello from relocation to UK with my two South African GTV6's
Just saw the needle valve post Kevin. I wouldn't bother drilling anything, given the risks involved. If even one of them things flood during use, its not a walk in the park. Spend the money (£90-100) and buy new larger ones. I got one of these things on a 50cc ancient Garelli moped and the Viton con...

Re: Oil level
Sure enough, it took me several days to get it to fit perfectly, a lot of filing and cutting the Teflon with Exact-O-knife, but in the end even I was happy with the rotating parts barely 'licking' the Teflon strip. And no oil leaks anywhere for more than a year now.

Re: Hello from relocation to UK with my two South African GTV6's
Several points here... --Haven't checked the number (6 or 4) but I have found that with a harder suspension set, Yellow Bilsteins are the best I have tried and still have them on the 1.8T. Konis (yellow) are no good in my opinion and for my liking. In the soft setting they allow too much movement an...

Re: Hello from relocation to UK with my two South African GTV6's
Things are simple: All Bosch inductive distributors have the green wire+yellow 2-pin connector, starting from Alfasud, Alfetta, Giulietta, carb Alfa75, early gtv6and many Alfa33 cars. On the other hand, all Hall-effect distributors have the upright 3-pin connector (late gtv6, all Jetronic Milanos, A...

Re: Hello from relocation to UK with my two South African GTV6's
Hi Kevin,
Does the green wire come with the little yellow distributor plug? If yes, please share the Porsche part number as I need a couple of those!
Thanks,
Jim K.

Re: C&B 24v cams
Its only been 4 years Ben, hahah! They are long gone. However, I have been regrinding customers' 24v cams for a few years now. They send me the cams and I have them reground to a couple profiles I came up with. Cost is 450€+shipping, which for Au is ~80€, so total is 530€. If you don't have your own...

Re: Oil level
If you do trackdays, do your engine a big favor and install a crank scraper from Ishihara-Johnson. Additionally, you may opt for some kind of slosh-baffle. Here is what I have in my 3.2 engine. The scraper has the Teflon-edge option which you must very carefully cut yourself so that the rotating par...

And move the alternator the same way, too.

Re: GTA crank and 164 12V crank pulley
Stop playing with 3D stuff here, IT WILL DISINTEGRATE with the required 150Nm torque on the nut! Make a proper washer out of sheet steel or make one on a lathe.

Re: 166 24v into 116 GTV
Easier said than done. Static balance is NOT enough. You must copy the dynamic balance and this will require some fabrication of a means to mount the flywheel on the balancer, plus an arm with a variable/movable weight on it which is to be mounted on the flywheel to achieve zero imbalance during the...

Re: 166 24v into 116 GTV
Yes, this is my preferred way of doing it. I did the same with s 10mm spacer I had to use in my engine for the sandwich plate. In addition, I also had a lip machined inside to positively center it. No other means of fixing were used, just pressure from the sandwich plate center oil fitting. So, ther...

Re: 166 24v into 116 GTV
I was right then when I fixed a laser pointer on the 24v flywheel and moved engine mounts around a bit (by enlarging slots). However, I figured that under power, The gearbox nose moves up, so I aimed for ~10mm higher than the bellhousing center. Still works great, no vibes. 8) Merry Christmas everyo...
