Hi Thomas nice video. Please encourage your subscribers to always use a timing light to verify or sync the motor with the app. Simply warm up the engine and using your timing light confirm for example 14 deg @ 1000 rpm. If it is not reading that simply loosen the distributor and move it until it does. Then tighten up the distributor. Once you verify one point is correct all the others will follow.
Hi Ed, Yes, the manual tells you to put the motor at TDC, then rotate the distributor until the light aligns with the hole. That gets it basically set. I did it a little different. While, I did do that, I wanted to make sure. So I studied the advance curve and chose a point on the incline. I choose a point on the rise, that way I know what the advance should be at when at a certain RPM. Then you can use the app which reads RPM and tells you advance. You can then dial it in perfectly by rotating the distributor. No timing light is needed if you use the 123 that has the app.
i just bought a 914.4 and the ignition is locked on it what’s the best way to get it unlocked so i can drive it home? i tried to just muscle it but couldn’t. anything will help
Thomas, thanks for the video. Does the D-Jet model address the need for trigger points? I have a 1972 Porsche 914 1.7L with original D-Jet fuel injection. Thanks for any input.
