In 1968 there were "911's" and also "911 L's" for import into the USA. They were 2 liter. The 911L was like the 911 'S' but without the 'S' engine (which did not meet USA emission laws). You may well have a 911 without any letter prefix. I don't think the "T" was imported into the USA in 1968. The stock engine had an aluminum case (very strong) and cylinders with cast iron inserts. There is nothing wrong with the cast iron liners and you can actually hone them and just install new rings, unlike the later coated cylinders. The was an air pump installed in 1968 (smog pump) and if it is gone (most likely) you will find the holes plugged up into the heads where the air lines went originally. A good running 2 liter is a strong performer. The webers had no choke, so you had to pump some gas into them to get them going. The big problem was rust, as the factory merely undercoated these cars and did not even paint the bottoms. The undercoating was a poor product and did not protect well. They also had the short wheelbase. Bye, Dave

Darn! I only drive it a few weekends and while on vacation in the Summer here in Oregon, which means I do not drive it enough to really get used to the clutch. Is there another brand of clutch with another pressure plate design that is more even on the release?

I wonder if I just removed the helper spring if I would like it better? Bye, Dave

I hate the feel of the clutch on my 1981 911 SC. It's easy to hold down, but when it you let it out, at the last inch of travel it wants to spring out with much more force. I have owned this car for ten years and am tired of stalling it out, especially on hills. The car has 80K and is in great shape. I do not know if the clutch is original (the dreaded rubber center one) or not. I know there is a C shaped spring in there somewhere. The clutch works fine and feels smooth except for this problem. It reminds me of a compound hunting bow, which is designed to be easy to hold an arrow fully cocked but springs back hard upon release. My 68 911 feels nothing like this. The pedal is nice and even all the way through it's travel. Any ideas? Do I have to live with this? I own and have owned many sports cars and this is the only one that is a pain to work. Thanks, Dave
