Hello again everyone! I just wanted to provide a brief update in my search so far:

I took the measurements from my existing pin and spring, and measured them as follows:

Pin
- 85mm length
- ...

I appreciate the input everyone! I have to admit, it is a bit discouraging that something like this is so difficult to source new, especially when they are still making the 5 lug hardware (no love for ...

I'm having some difficulty in sourcing brake hardware for my '81 Base 924 w/ 4 lug wheels (and I believe all original brake parts). I just feel like something like brake hardware shouldn't be this tro ...

While hunting the source of a vacuum leak, I found out that my '81 N/A's charcoal canister was broken in several places - most notably the bottom, which was split wide open. I'm looking to replace it, ...

Well, it took longer to get back in the garage than expected, but it turns out that my timing was indeed spot on - I even went to the length of getting a piston stop tool just to confirm that my crank ...

I definitely could have (and probably did lol)

I guess it's just trial and error then, because I assume the ideal here would be to back off the camshaft just enough that when you remove the slack b ...

Thanks for the clarification! I'll double check and make sure the flywheel mark and crankshaft pulley are in agreement.

As for taking up slack in the belt, I've seen it described like so, and just ...

I am presently working on my first timing job after replacing my 1981 N/A's valve stem seals (first "major" engine work I've ever done, so I apologize if these are basic questions for those ...

That's the same boat I'm in! I've seen three 924's in my life; one in a museum in Florida, one '77 when I was originally looking to buy a Porsche, and then the one I own. I always wish I had another 9 ...

I know this post is a bit old at this point, but as of last night my lambda issue appears to be solved. After mulling it over for a few weeks, I decided that I didn't trust the lambda computer itself, ...

You're definitely not alone, I've had my 924 for almost 3 years now and it's been an uphill battle all the way. The A/C system will be my next challenge, but I figured a properly running car needed to ...

I recently replaced my O2 sensor on the car, but I haven't tried reading the output of the sensor directly, so that will probably be my next test.

I was actually able to have some success in the tu ...

What is confusing me the most is, if the lambda computer was losing power, I would expect my meter to be reading 90, like it does when it is disconnected or the car is not running. With it jumping to ...

When the dwell meter pegs at 0 (or 90, depending on how you look at it), the frequency valve is NOT running. When the engine is running (somewhat) well, the dwell reading is fluctuating around 43-47 a ...

Thanks for the detailed explanation Fasteddie313, the lambda system is starting to make a lot more sense to me.

It makes sense that the dwell should never read 0; since mine is apparently backward ...
