Hi Mike, thanks a lot for your latest video. I have enjoyed it with my 7 years old daughter Chloé who asked me many questions about the fuel line ;) ! Your videos should be shared at school to make our kids more conscious about the heritage of real cars (before they will disappear replaced by sad electric vehicles!)
Hello Giovanni Thanks I think one day your daughter will be able to help out her classmates when she is able to drive! Classmates will wonder how does she know such things! Thanks for sharing with her=)
Hey Kav! Thanks thats encouraging to know=)) Hows things going over there? Im so busy its been difficult to get anything done..also these videos take some time to get done don't they!
Thanks Huybrecht We're getting slowly there.. She's really beginning to take shape and also I'm starting to thin out some parts! I can actually move around in the shop now=)
Thanks for your videos...beautiful work!! I'm beginning to finish a 67 911 I've had for years. It's a true blessing to be able to share your dedication and craftsmanship. Sincerely, Gary DuHaime
Hi Mike... great videos..thanks for sharing. You mentioned that there was a rectangular cutout in the front engine compartment seal, and you weren't sure why it was there. If I'm not mistaken, certain later 911 engines had Bosch mechanical fuel injection pumps mounted on top of the left side of the motor. My '72 911E had such a MFI pump. Those injection pumps have a sprocket on their front (the end closest to the firewall). The pump sprocket is driven by a rubber belt running from another sprocket below, attached to the left camshaft in the very front end of the motor. The seal had to be cut out in that exact location to give room for the belt to travel between those two sprockets. I'm fairly sure the cutout in your rubber seal is there to accommodate later motors with the mechanical fuel injection. Hope this helps. Your series of videos is extremely helpful. Thanks again.

Hello Keith Thank you for this great valued information! I was hoping someone would be able to explain the cut out Fantastic!! Porsche does a wonderful job keeping these classics on the road. Its always amazing to me how much is still available down to the smallest of parts.. Genuine Porsche are top quality but sometimes parts are NLA and have to resort to after market for shopping. Some of the parts cross over for several years sharing same part numbers but there are slight differences. The early engine seal is one of them Mystery solved! Thank you again and happy driving!
Waiting for the next video from Mike, is like waiting for the next sequel of your favorite movie. I'm so exited that the interior and engine is coming up. Great work, thanks for producing top quality work and entertainment.
Hello Thomas Thank you for the most flattering comment=) I too am excited to get started on the interior .. I think trunk trim out will be next, followed by front & rear window then time for some carpet and interior trim!
Hey Mike, Would you be OK with me referencing this video and your excellent description of the engine relay panel? I would like to put a link in the description of a video of the installation of a harness in a 67 that I am making. It would be great to direct people to this video. Would that be OK? Fantastic detail in all your videos. Steve
Hello Steve Thank you and no problem to referencing anything from this channel Please share anything that will help get the cars back on the road! It look like you have and excellent project there=) Good luck and thanks for reaching out!
Great! Here is the link and part number for the fuel line used with matching ferrule www.partsklassik.com Fuel line 7.5mm part number 2122.0600 Ferrule 901.108.219.00 If you have any questions regarding fitment Kirk is very helpful and extremely knowledgeable Good luck!
Very informative video as always. However I have checked the ferrules on the fuel hose/pipe connections on a 1976 Porsche Targa and they are crimped. I don't understand how the ferrules should prevent the hoses from vibrating off, unless they were tightend around the pipe. This might possibly be the reason for the pipe being cut off, since the hose could not be pulled off the pipe and that would have been the only way to take them apart? On the other hand I can't say that the crimping was made at the factory, or if it was made at a later stage. Maybe someone else here with better knowledge can shed some light on the issue.
Hello Anders Thats a great question you bring up. The early cars were not crimped at the factory. Fuel pressure is approximately 2lbs.. not much pressure The way the ferrules work is when the rubber fuel line swells the ferrules then pinch down force on the barb and stop the fuel line from backing off and pinches or squeezes the connection so to speak. This only works on a barbed fitting. On Later cars the fuel line connection assembly was crimped but they were not assembled at Porsche they were supplied by other parts supplier and if i'm not correct I believe there is no barb on the ends of the crimped tubings..smooth to the end. I prefer hose clamps in those situations. but the supplier did crimp these on later modes which year that began I don't know for sure. The Porsche historians would know much more on that than I could offer. It doesn't make sense to me either..but thats the way its done Lets see what happens when we start her up! Cross my fingers!! Great topic!!
Hi Mike, I am sorry for my comment, but it was only well meant. We don't want fuel leakage in your 5-star renovated Porsche, do we? Anyway, I will shut up in the future. Anders
Hello Anders Don't be=) Comments and discussion are always welcome here for sure! We are all car buds & enthusiasts As you know my background is not Porsche specialist so anything and any information that can help me out and also share with others we surely want open it up.. You have a great point and will now give more insight for others working on their projects. Im with you though..cant imagine in my mind these simple slide ons actually work! seems crazy! Will pressure test the system before bringing in the engine just to be safe. Cheers!
Mike - fav channel and most relevant to me on the tube. Re wiring iv’e spent months researching high quality automotive replacement striped wire and found very few options out there. My dash has melted wiring. Do you have any sources?
Hi Mike, greetings from Poland, your videos very help me in restauration 911 targa my client. Can u tell me from where did u get all electric specyficatins? I have a problem whit cables in front of dasch and gaugues, or if u can be that god u can tell how u get all specyfications, mechanical too. Thanks for help.
Hello Boski Most of the electrical wiring on the car was labeled before disassembly However it may or may not be correct from original. I am using Porsche shop manuals and colored wiring charts in them for double checking wire connections. I am currently working on a video that will be going over a fair amount of wiring under the dash. It may be of some help to you. Also Im working in the trunk area and reviewing all wiring in that area Please be sure to check next video for that Good Luck!
@@MikesRestorations i dont have that good position on start like u, when i Start working on car i get New painted chase and 3 boxes engine, supersion and Electric wirles, nothing lebeled :D i will be waiting for New videos.
1974 911 turbo targa model D, but now its 2,7 N/A i know its not this same year model but i see most of elektric wirles and another things is this same like in ur car, most of problems what i have is whit gauges :/ I will be grateful for all ur help.
Nice project Boski! When I go over gauges we will break down the wiring carefully The gauge wiring quite simple to follow and should be very similar to to this 67
