Guys,

I think I'm going to have to pass. My wife is out of town this weekend, so I'll have the kids with me. With the forecast calling for rain and thunderstorms, I have a strong feeling that the kids are going to be bored out of their minds while we wrench on the cars - and I can't justify doing that to them. If the forecast changes dramatically between now and tomorrow morning, I may reconsider, but at this point, I'm out.

Sorry Jimbo!

Hey, it looks like somebody came a day early! Spotted at the Doerr Farm a couple hours ago...

I'm leaving now. In the 928. It can stand a few rain drops.
Later!

Good time folks! Thank you everyone for coming out, esp with the sloppy cold weather.

I had a great time catchin' up with old friends and meeting new ones.

Big thanks to Big (rather tall) Al, for digging in on the LBJ job. He made quick work of it.
Honorable mention goes to him being the only Canadian in attendance!

Oh yea, Mom say thanks for eating up all the baked beans.

Jim special thanks to you folks for letting us all get together and play, the food was great too!
I was really nice meeting new 928 enthusiasts and seeing their cars, the weather was crappy but it was warm inside, your dad got a kicking garage, love all the gas pumps and signage.

We got the new Type II 4 nozzle fuel injectors, Temp II and Spark plugs and Battery in Paul’s car and it started right up and the cheers went out!
Only to be quieted by the eng stumble and stall, what we do know is it is all 8 cylinders, it will restart and run for varied amounts of time then start sputtering and stalling.

We are thinking fuel pump a rail gauge would help tell, however even though the computer connections look great it could be EZK or LH, the CPS was replaced two years ago.

On Erick’s, super clean 50k miles ’87 we replace the fuel lines, here are some phone pic I took between wrenching

We should do it again, thanks for putting it together Jim.

Dave
