Just an FYI: I have listed my alternate Plastic Clown Car on PCar Marketplace. Please check it out and bid it up as you see fit, and inform any classic Porschephiles you may be acquainted with (particularly those with money) that this particular fake 550 is an unusually fine example of the marque.
Thanks to all.

Bumping this thread for awareness.
I’m planning out this year’s Carlisle outing, Thursday May 9- Sunday morning May 12. Hotel HQ is again the Courtyard Marriott in Camp Hill; the room deal is at this link. (https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1702482498713&key=GRP&app=resvlink)

Book 1 to buy or borrow: “How The Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: a Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot”
You will find many answers in there, the most important one being “don’t panic.”

If I were in your shoes I’d check out the 2.3 forums like this one: https://www.ranger-forums.com/2-3l-2-5l-i4-tech-31/
They can help you troubleshoot at least as well as we can.
An engine swap seems like a radical step for someone to be contemplating not knowing basics like “what could fit?”

You could run it with a 34PICT3 on a stock manifold but you’d probably do better to tune the Delorto, unless it’s icing up.
What Dell do you have? What idle jets are in it?
What is your current overall mileage? I get about 25-26mpg overall with my 120-hp 1914 in a 1500 lb Spyder replica. Your engine should be giving you something similar—but o…[Read more]

On mine I had to pull the shift rod out through the front of the tunnel.
If the trouble is only the cable tubes for the brakes and such, the way forward is to use a pry bar to bend them away from the cup.

Welcome to the group, Barbara! Dale Schumacher refurbished one of these many years ago and he’s nearby. His friend Rick did one about four years ago and he’s also in NoVA. Many of us meet at the Carlisle Import and Performance Nationals in May, about 2 hours north of you. You could meet other TDr owners there and learn about the ins and outs.

edward ericson replied to the topic Abarth Exhaust? in the forum General Discussion 10 months, 4 weeks ago
Not sure what an Abarth style is in this context. If it’s the 4-tip GT style probably not.
We’re free to use any exhaust of course. There’s an EMPI single tip setup that puts the tailpipe in the exact right place for an MG TD. Works fine and relatively quiet. It’s not ideal for horsepower though so if you’re running a hi-po engine consider other…[Read more]
