Every day I’m seeing new modes of failure.  The cars are taking longer and longer to repair because of obscure things like what we’re seeing here.  So it’s not that I’ve forgotten about you, and it’s not that I don’t want to work on your car, it’s just that stuff like this takes longer and longer to diagnose and repair and there are only so many hours in the day that we can work. 

Luckily I have a vast store of old parts, so the wait time for a new squirter is 1min versus a day or two, but the fact remains that these old cars aren’t getting any younger, the new parts aren’t on the level they need to be to repair the old cars properly, and there are fewer and fewer mechanics (not “techs”) who are capable of actually fixing these things properly. 

Thank you for your patience and thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Sweet Aubergine 1973 911S first start went swimmingly.  Looking forward to putting it on the dyno for break-in and tuning.  This is a pretty old school build - @mahlegroup 2.2S pistons, mod-S camshafts, @cpcarrillo_ connecting rods, @aascoms scalloped flywheel, and OEM ultra lightweight Sachs pressure plate (they don't make 'em like they used to) - but it's snappy as heck with a sharp BRAP from the MFI.  There is no school like the Old School.
