Thursday Update
Pulled the 911 out of the garage yesterday and it cut out and wouldn't start. Let it sit 5 minutes, fired right up. Before the first start, I installed all new fuel tank, soft lines, cleaned hard lines. Original fuel pump was frozen, but after much cleaning, got it working but it wouldn't build enough pressure to get fuel to the engine. Converted to Pierburg with a 3.5 lb regulator. (original fuel pump is now nearly $1000.00, so maybe in the future). I did not update the coil, which I am suspecting is getting warm, then dying, cooling, and working. New coil, points, cap, wires, plugs on the way. Update will follow
Also, the Alternator light was on and the tach doesn't do much. Alternator light went out yesterday after some more electrical cleaning.
