Have any of you seen/own a 1977 924 in signal green in the USA? I have seen a few from overseas, but none stateside. Thanks

I bought a new one in signal green in 1977 from a PA Porsche dealer.

The SE that I owned some years ago had it pasted to the dash.

Let me know if you do this. I live nearby and can provide a Porsche for the laps.

Convert to a 944 plastic tank? Not easy but it will never rust.

I quit FB..

My wife has an account so I use hers when I REALLY have to be on it. Otherwise, I'd be happy if it went away completely.

In addition to great advice above, check for vacuum leaks and do a compression test.

What color is you car?

Porsche Anthracite Grey Metallic (paint code 677),

Glad to hear, what did you do to fix it?

It's grounded through the steering shaft. Rust and worn steering shaft u joint bearings have been known to cause this issue.

Brake hoses have a 10 year life, check for dates on the hoses.

Where is the other end of that hose currently attached? Based on your description, it is probably not correctly installed. Post a picture of your under hood hose routing diagram.

If you are going to start it without the tranny whose mounts serve as extended motor mounts, make sure you secure the tranny end of the torque tube so it doesn't bounce around.

I wouldn't do it, no ...

Make sure the rotor is not loose on the distributor shaft.

Was the cap broken before you took it to the shop? I've never seen a cap broken by slipped timing. There is a specific procedure in the FSM concerning removing the caps, did the shop follow it?
