^^^
First was fuel accum leakdown, replaced with new (this time).
Then injector (one, maybe 2), went away after running.
The fuel dist is good, replaced FPR orings, some copper washers, clean fuel inlet screen (50% blocked)
Super+ plugs looks good, but rich (black soot). Replaced with early bosch coppers.
Injectors are rough, but soaking now. Need cleaning and flow cleaning. Have some new and good used extras if needed.
Will post pics tomorrow when I get to a landline 'puter.
Had a great day!

^^^ thanks Landseer.
Yes, mostly original. Right rear quarter, only panel with paint work.
Porsche script on back is hand-painted black, it's worn and not original.
Looking for interesting ideas for black paint removal, while preserving red paint underneath.

paint removal
I used that adhesive remover….Goo Gone….? and tried to work it with as little force as possible …..little by little, the script paint on the blue 79 came off

Was able to finish up under the hood. Nick cleaned the front wheel well too.
Ran out of time for other stuff due to a couple schedule changes, however happy with what was accomplished.
She runs great!

Jim xylene will probably take off the script with some rubbing, maybe try acetone first it could be nail polish. but test any chemical first on the original paint in areas that are not critical like up above the pedals in the foot well and see how it reacts. xylene will just clean it real well but test anyway.
xylene is the main ingredient in the paint and goo removers and very handy to have in the garage. it's not dangerous to use on cured paints like laquer thinner can or could be. But please test first.
When you get #6 back home to Va, i'd like to visit you and see the car.
