    It has come to my attention that there shouldn't be a spring behind the plunger on these cars. So if your car doesn't have one, you're good.

    I have a 1977 Porsche 924, I was wondering if the spring you pull out at 3:04 is needed with my model. I pulled mine apart and there was no spring, everything else seemed to match up and I have every other piece.

      Great. Thanks for replying- I have a 300SL 1988- the fuel mixture is very rich, keeps fouling the plugs with soot, tried adjusting the mixture screw but no good. Could the fuel distributor need overhauling? The had been sitting for a couple of years - any thoughts please. Thanks

      @@donjohnson4368 my suggestion is firstly to check to make sure that the warm control pressure is correct after warm-up. If the control pressure is too low after warm-up the air/fuel mixture will be too rich the whole speed range and that can cause the spark plugs to be flooded with fuel.

      Well, they do make rebuild kits so you can take it apart or send it to them for a rebuild. They advise to not use any sealant at first...if it leaks you can seal two surfaces with Loctite 518 or similar.
