editor’s notes You didn’t Set a ne~sletter last montl~. ~.$e know. No one, did. Our former edieor resisned in the middle of the montl], with no expl~n~tion to the board. We think you deserve better treatment. Flyers are OK, and they get the work out quickly and cheaply. But then you miss out on For Sale items, upcoming events, articles, and membership notes. A club the size of LA Region ought to be able to produce a monthly newsletter and get it out on time to you. So here it is folks -- the new improved economy size version of PORSCHERAMA. You’ll notice from %he list of board members that this is now a group effort. Connie, Lark and Ann are going to share the responsibility for getting this rag out every month. We"re rather pleased with our first effort and we hope you like it. If you have suggestions or would like to write an article, draw & cartoon, or help mail the newsletter out, get in touch with one of us. It’s a lot easier to do if more people are involve<, .~nd.it’s & lot more fun already. Lark is responsiple for the art work -- how do you like our new calendar format? Connie is handling advertising (we’re finally going to get around to billing the advertisers!) and setting info on upcoming events. Ann is riding shotgun, picking up loose ends and typing
like mad. ,,_ ’ ’ ~\ -

So far, so
good. So keep your fingers crossed. As ions a.s we’re having a good time, you can count on a newsletter every month.

spanky corner Our parking lot BBO. last month was a terrific success. About 120 members and friends joined in the fun. Dustints food was great as always, our thanks to the whole Janes f$mily and to their helpers (!ors of people asked for the recipe; we’ve reprinted it below). For entertainment, we listened to the country rock sounds of the High Sierras (thanks to Sara for arranging it). Alan Shoemaker won the scavenger hunt, finding 17 items in his car out of a list of 25 (we’re not sure that’s something to be proud of, Alan[). Our membership meeting for this month will be at the Yacht Club with Rudi Spielberger from VOA as our guest speaker. Rudi’s an expert on the development of the 928 and 9S5. It should be a great evening; so everybody come. Only 4 of us managed to go to the Las Vegas TT -me and Sam and Rick Jackson and Lynne Smith. I got beat. Upcoming events: July 27 we’re planning a fun Sunday Brunch rally, ending at the Zimmerman’s home for eats and swimming. . . The PCA/POC Challenge Cup Slalom at LAPP will be held July 20; it’s our turn to host. Finally, we’ve got a whole new team doing our newsletter--Connie from Porschop, Ann from Rand, and Lark from Jose. They’re real enthusiastic right now; so let’s give them lots of support. Yhey want more personal art.icles -- your Porsche experiences, a trip, a time trial, anything. Special thanks to Bob Morgan for our cartoon this month.

CAR TIPS by Henry Anonymous One of the most common complaints from the owners of 1969 and earlier 4-cylinder Porsches equipped with Solex carburetors has been the erratic idle and intermittent flat spot in the midrange. These carburetors today are at least 11 years old, some have been operating for at least 200,000 miles, and (remember) of the three pedals underneath your feet, the one that gets the most use is the accelerator pedal. Consequently, the entire linkage develops a little wear at every point in the linkage. Most of these can be taken care of with minimal amounts of labor and parts. However, when this wear pattern reaches the final point at the carburetors, especially in the throttle shaft area, then it no longer is a minor problem. There are at present 3 remedies. One, disassemble and rebuild the throttle shaft assemblies. Two, replace the carburetors; however, the only ones available today are the 1969 emission model. And three, install a Weber carburetor conversion. The cost of each is approximately the same. Those Porsche owners who have used the Weber conversion report noticeably increased performance and, most important, gas mileage increases of up to 20-25% range. This article could continue for hours. So for the best info for your car, contact your Tech chairman. He would be most happy to advise you of your. particular needs. P.S. Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you ask your local P/A dealer why they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make stronger hood struts for the front and rear deck?
