914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Help with 1976 2.0 instrument cluster

Posted by: tabwb Jul 26 2021, 07:22 AM

Hello all - first post here so will try to be brief. I finally got around to working on my 1976 2.0 914 that I purchased many years ago. As I got further into the resurrection, I began to notice that the car was a "Frankenstein" - engine not original, mismatched parts, etc. I'm at the point where I'm quite sure the dash instruments are not original (no surprise there). Can anyone post/send me a pic of the dash instruments (fuel/speedo/tach, etc.) that were stock on the 1976 914 2.0l engine? Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

So you don’t have google images New Jersey…..

75-76 should be the same, you will find that Calif 914s came with a EGR light.

You should note also that the gauge holder was black plastic and not metal.

I suppose we do (have google images in NJ) but damn if I can find them. Thanks for the info.

A non appearance group car would have an oil temp section above the fuel gauge rather than the blank shown
