Rice’s Ramblings: Elusive Surging Ignition-Again 1973 911 Carrera Impressions Story by Lee Rice The New Year is here with a New Hope for an improving outlook for everyone. 911 ignition problems: Question: My 1982 911SC had some work done a while ago… and I notice my SC wants to accelerate and then as suddenly decelerate, only slightly all in a cycle lasting 1-2 seconds. Is there something I can do for this? Reply: The 911SC is particularly sensitive to ignition timing. Even slight mis-timing can result in surges, like what you are experiencing. The specifications for the 1982 are within the 1980 thru 1983 SC Specifications. The timing must be checked at 950+ 50 rpm, with the red and blue vacuum hoses pulled off the ignition distributor’s “double vacuum box”. Next adjust the ignition timing to 5 degrees BTDC while maintaining 950 rpm. Then re-install the red and blue vacuum hoses. To check the “vacuum box” * (930.602.915.01) BOSCH: 1 237 122 736 (See image # 1) Note* The RED hose provides vacuum for advance at cruise power. The BLUE hose provides vacuum for idle retard.* 1. Check VACUUM RETARD: with blue hose connected, disconnect the red hose at the vacuum box’s front connection #2. Ignition timing must be between -3’and -7’ ATDC. 2. Check VACUUM ADVANCE: Disconnect blue hose from connection #1, and disconnect red hoses from connection #2. Now connect blue hose to connection #2. Adjust idle speed to 950 +50 rpm. -Ignition timing must be between 8’ to 12’ BTDC. 3. Re- install red hose to #2 and blue hose to #1, adjust idle speed to 950 +50 rpm These specification are found in Werk Shop Manual 1972 onward section 9.3 – 2/13 Anniversary 2013 is also an anniversary for us Porsche 911 fanatics of old, as we recollect back 40 years ago, history was about to unfold in an amazing and dramatic way. These 911 cars we admire so much and just cannot seem to get enough of, were originally destined to build in a production life of about 5- 7 years. The 911 was, after all, an intended move-up from the 4 cylinder “putt-putt” image of Porsche. This is no put down either. The evolution of the 4 cylinder Porsche came about in the early 1930s and its history is a marvel from Ferdinand Porsche himself. In the 1960s Ferry Porsche and his sons wanted to make their own history with a new Porsche. A new design was the answer with a growing West Germany economy and a world market. This required an entirely new design with much more power, higher speed, more driver-passenger room and modern amenities. The 356 had evolved to its limit and then (1961) a more modern car was needed. This gave birth to Werk Design Nr. 901, then a new name: “911.” 1973 was the arrival of a new upgraded version of the 911, which became a prominent racing car called the Carrera Renn Sport Rennen. A German way to state: Ralley/Sporting/Racing. Porsche was determined to reduce any weight not absolutely necessary by making the # 1 -SC ignition timing layout new 911 as lightweight as possible and still have a street/road drivable 911. This gave birth to Porsche’s “less is more” philosophy. However, Porsche had to sell 500 basic examples of the RSR to be classified for homologation purposes that was the: “Carrera RS.” The RS enabled Porsche to be eligible to race in the Group 4 Special GT Class. These were called the 911 2.7 Carrera RS, which became the basis for the full blown 2.8 Liter, all out racing, 2.8 Carrera RSR. From a long time ago I recall my first impression of the 2.7 Carrera RS, it was on my wedding day, June 16 1973. I had my 1968 911 perfectly polished and ready to gently speed my bride and myself from church –the very same car and same bride I have today. Thank You! Anyway, just before leaving for church the mailman delivered my Competition Press/ Autoweek and on the first page I saw, hot off the press from the Paris Auto Show, a pictured 911, in white with a blue “Carrera” stripe, blue centered Fuchs wheels and that famous ‘duck tail.’ I was stunned! I was determined to have one someday, or in my case build one! SEE image # 2 (This has a familiar feel - like what is brewing for 2013 and 2014: the arrival of the Porsche 918) And with that in mind I asked my brother John Rice, to tell me his first impression of his first 1973 911 2.7 Carrera RS. “…Lee and I were due to meet in Monterey for a visit and Lee went out (Continued on Page 23) JANUARY 2013 15
