The steering seems s bit loose on my 1979 911. I can hold the wheel and
move it up and down about 1/8"... is there a way to tighten the steering
post? thanks

just a guess - there is an upper bearing - I don't remember how they are
adjusted, I suspect if you push the wheel towards the front of the car the
free play will go away, if so, then just figure out how to adjust -

There's a plastic bushing that has probably disintegrated over the years.
Pelican Parts has it at
http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/911M/POR_911M_MISCLL_pg13...m#item6

To replace, you just need to remove the steering wheel, pick out any broken
plastic bits and tap in the new bushing.

997 based Carrera 4? - Has Porsche announced an availability date for the next Carrera 4? Thank you

Color coded cowling - I recently purchased a 1968 911 with an upgraded 2.7 liter engine.The engine has green fiberglass cowling which I believe indicates that it is an "S" engine. Am I correct?

Another transmission question - This morning I hopped into my 84' 911 to go to work. It was about 31 degrees Fahrenheit outside, so just a tad brisk to say the least. Anyway, my faithful steed fire right up as always, and off I went. I came to the first stop, and was pretty well..
