Hey, long time no see again. You’re not gonna believe this, but my wife got pregnant again. We lost that one too. Lets not linger on that, but thats where I’ve been. I think I’ve come to the conclusion that at some point sooner rather than later, I will have to part with the 944 to help cover some of the bills we have accrued during the last couple of years. 944 prices have shot up, and LS swap ones in particular pull a premium. That said, I don’t plan to do so until I get it running and get to drive it a bit.

 

I got back to it this weekend. I’ve started to try and finalize some of the wiring around the car. I’ve rerouted things that I had hanging out of the engine bay back under the dash. I soldered the temporary connections I had made for the tachometer. I didn’t leave myself tons of meat, but as the picture shows I made it work. I also put heat shrink on the unused side just so it isn’t rubbing around on anything it shouldn’t be. I’ll work on cleaning up the rest of the wiring probably in the next post.

 

I turned my attention to the clutch and brake master cylinders. Things are tight thanks to the hydroboost setup. My first problem was that one of the ignition coil standoffs was bent over from hitting the hydroboost unit when we lifted the engine into the car in Sean’s shop. I wasn’t sure how to properly address this, so I snuck the sawzall in there and cut off the stud. I am still looking for a cost effect coil relocation system for the driver side.

 

The swap kit comes with this machines metal dowel to adapt the hydroboost unit to the Porsche brake master, but I am not sure which direction it goes in. One has a groove in it, so I am sure thats probably important. Going to ask the Porsche swap groups for more info.

The clutch master that was in the car was old and crusty and leaky. It had to go, and I had a fresh one. I climbed my fat ass under the dash yet again, and unhooked the old one from the clutch pedal. I got the old one undone and fished out. I didn’t realize there was a paper gasket behind it, so I got creative and made my own. It doesn’t seem like its that important a seal.

The new clutch line coming from the GM slave cylinder has this braided AN line on it, and I am slightly concerned because it doesn’t seem to lay quite right no matter which way I’ve tried running it, but there is more than enough length to get there.
