Is this on CIS?

Yes - the '73.5 USA 2.4 911T ... built for ~ 6 months only

.

Was it a disaster, or any good?

[Bootsy]

Great cars. I had one

Isn’t that an mfi engine in the pics? Used in the USA market 911 2.4t prior to the introduction of the cis engine.

That's what I was thinking

[hot66]

Yes mfi in pics making it a TE ?

The 1973.5 T CIS is a great car. Really nice smooth and powerful,set up

Sorry - I didn't look at the pictures !!

As has already been pointed out that's a US 2.4T mfi engine.

The CIS 2.4T engine was introduced early in 1973 as a less costly alternative to mfi & only lasted approx 6 months because the engines were then enlarged to 2.7 litres.

The '73.5 2.4T is a great car &, for many years, was grossly underrated & hence one of the last 'bargains' of the early 911 range ...

Just to add my bit - I think the 73.5 CIS car is brilliant.
Once it is set up it is really nice and stays on tune.
I have done over 70,000 miles in mine.
As an aside the emissions are rather better than the MFI system - the co2 set to be between 1.5 - 2.0.
And the mpg is usually in the mid to high 20s rather than about 15 on a good day on my E.
I know people get a bit sniffy about them but it has served me well as has the Targa option now the summers are often longer and hotter.

[gridgway]

should we tell them that their description is wrong?

How can it be 15 times better? Are you exaggerating?

I am not sure quite what you mean but the mpg figures for the E maybe are a bit.
The E was set rich and would only get more than about 15 mpg on a long fast run when it might get nearer 20.
However the CIS car does not give good mpg if only driven in town when it is probably 12-15mpg but overall it is pretty good.
The mixture on the CIS car is set by the CO2 which is as stated.

[Cortina]

I think someone is comparing co2 reading and mpg - hmmmmmmmmmm ................

my 2.4 E averaged about 15mpg too ................ 11 / 12 on shorter runs , and up closer to 20 on a long steady run .

Economical they are not !!

Sorry, I misread your post (I thought you typed mfi, not mpg)

[sng45]

Great looking car.........
