What Readers say
Enthusiasts and collectors value this book for its authenticity and unique perspective.
“Forty five or so years ago I had a career as a mechanic, Chevron Dealer and neighborhood garage manager. Four of those were spent as a Porsche mechanic in a dealership. In 2005 when I bought my Dolphin Grey 356C, and started the mechanical work on the car, I contributed occasionally to the 356 Registry Talk forum. By reading the many posts on the Registry I came to understand that there were big gaps in my knowledge, and that if time travel were possible, I could now go back to 1967 and be a better Porsche mechanic. Then I bought “How to make an old Porsche fly”, and I discovered that there was another whole world that I didn’t know. What a blow. Even if you will never use one tip in the book on your 356, the information will bring a new appreciation of the 356. Highly recommended.” RS
“Thank you so much for making these improvements to this great book that was so helpful when building my race engines. Just picked up my paper copy a few days ago and re-read several parts with great pleasure. The printing and index really enhance the book. My son and I racing each other at Laguna Seca – you may have seen already:” PT
” The improvements are brilliant! It is so much easier to read with the new format and the index is ever so helpful.” GS
“I don’t race but found the info very useful for my 356 and VW. Valuable insights in why my carbs can sputter, why the engine may be silently detonating, how to really tune Solex or Weber carbs, which distributors are good, what NOT to do to ensure my engines stay healthy with today’s cat’s pee, and much more. Thanks Craig for sharing!” PK
Always known about Craig’s Porsche book, but never had a copy. This will make very good bedtime reading. Looking forward to the read. Many thanks for the link. And thanks to Craig” JC
“I checked out a little bit of the book, and it’s cool Old School! Dig it!” JT
“I have this book and in my opinion it’s good and well written. If you are interested in technical stuff, you enjoy reading this even if you are not planning to do any “hot rodding”.” JV
“Every 356 owner should have and read Craig’s book.” CJM
“Thanks, i've directed many to this excellent tech reference. I bought my paper back copy directly from Craig, when it was new. I've referred to, and deferred to this book many times, for its "tribal knowledge". A thorough, and spot on 616 engine tech source, tell Craig we said Thanks, and "Howdy"” MH
