    my friend's son (really good guy) bought him a 1972 911t for his old guy sports car. we have lots of questions, many of which could probably be answered with an owners manual. so, 2 questions to start with. 1. any good sources for owner's manuals for this vintage? 2. what's the best way to check the engine oil level? it sounds like he has a dry sump engine with a reservoir.

    Oil is checked with the engine running, and with the engine up to full operating temp (i.e. drive the car for a good 15-20 minutes first), on level ground. To get the most accurate measurement you'd want it to be idling for a minute or so before checking the level. Aim to get the oil between the max and min lines, not up to the max...the oil expands and on a hotter day than you are checking the oil, the level may rise...simply trying to keep it between the max and min line is the best way to avoid over filling.

    andrew: one other question. what tire pressures should he run for moderately aggressive street use? thanks. P.S. the michigan porsche club meets this summer not too far from where he lives. i'm going to tell him to go with a large blank notebook.

    found the answer; sounds like 30psi front and 35 psi rear is a good place to start.
