These sure are neat cars to drive. She needs an alignment!
Having trouble with the shift cable adjustment... Anybody know if Porsche changed the length of the cable? I used the transmission tt from the grey car and the shiftcable and handle are OEM for the black car, and installed into this car. They're both 1980 model year. The cable keeps coming out of adjustment and i can't get it into park our reverse. I can't find my service manual either.... Sorry for the dumb question...

So far so good.. Put about 15 miles on it yesterday.
The no workie list:
seats
mirrors
Windows
Dash lights
aux ac fan works when hooked to 12v but not by itself.
Wipers are terribly slow...
All fuses are good.

Ha... Got the windows working.
Went through the vacuum system.. Replaced many crusty hoses. Idle s better.
Still missing. Went through the ignition system. Adjusted dizzy, cleaned contacts replaced plugs. Checked wires cap and rotor again... Replaced green wrote with brand new. No change... Cept it runs even better. Still missing at idle.
Time to check for more vacuum leaks. I sprayed each injector w a shot of starting fluid... Guess what... It sure idled better. Time for new orings.
