Glad I could get it started, then...at least I got something right today!
****, I couldn't even get the terminal covers off the damn pump! I've already broken the taillight cover trying to get to the bulb to test it! I'm gonna try to track down some local talent...God knows they couldn't do any worse.
Thanks again for all the helpful info that has been PM'd to me already!

Not having read any responses to the original post,
You do know the Porsche you bought is almost 30 years old right?
I think you should cut your losses sell it to me and buy a new Prius.

pretty. Lamp is just a very expensive to replace (new) plastic cover over the assembly which is attached the bumper. S4 design was "Easier"

If you don't give up you'll enjoy this car for many, many years.
It's always a little scary right after you buy an older car or truck and the rush has gone away. Any older car or truck will have issues.
But unlike many older cars, 928s are built to last forever but they must be maintained.

Thanks guys. The paint code is 822, which is/was Garnett Red Metallic. It's been repainted, but it's pretty close to what it was.
Definitely a nice looking ride...I'm going to take it to the local Porsche enthusiast tomorrow to see if he can figure out how to get a wrench between the terminal connections to hold the check valve in place to hopefully tighten the fit. We'll see what happens.

Great pic. Thought you had a Vic there, but alas its just a Harley?
;-)
Looks like someones been around and through the car quite a bit, but no rub strips and paint looks decent- first Zyclamrot?
Two tone seats are interesting.
Pic helps explain the lugs/studs- the rear spacers were pulled to accommodate the aftermarket wheels, which have a different offset. No worries, but wouldn't hurry to get the factory spacers until you have a chance to see whether a thinner one is warranted- or whether one is helpful at all.
Along with the fistful of relays review the posts describing cleaning of ground points. I've also replaced dimmer on all my 928s- restores control but doesn't do much for max brightness in most cases. ANd yes, when you have all your 'stuff' on and your voltmeter hovers right around 12V, yes they all do that.
And don't hit your tirp odometer reset button while rolling.

Remove the rubber boots over the terminals and remove the wire from the closest terminal. Then remove the cap at the end of the check valve (that holds the hard fuel line on) using a 17mm open wrench inserted at an angle to hold the check valve in place while you use a 19mm wrench on the cap, then remove the hard fuel line (detach it from pump and filter and place it out of the way). At this point you can easily use a 17mm open end wrench to hold the pump at the base of the check valve and a 17mm deep socket to tighten the check valve.
