914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 1975 - 1976 Technical specifications booklet available?

Posted by: TheMirror Feb 2 2009, 10:45 PM

Cheers all -

I have the 1970 -1974 Technical specifications booklet (bought off ebay), but I was wondering if anyone had a 1975 - 1976 version available for purchase or download? Its for a big Porsche specs database I'm building, I mostly just need to know a few of the GC engine specs.....and if there were any suspension changes in those years.

Thanks!

You might check with Jeff Bowlsby. He has a huge ollection of that kind of stuff:

Look under "Rare Documents". If you don't see it there, check with Jeff directly. His contact info is on the rennlist site.

Cap'n;

Would the 1976 User manual show any updated specs for the later year models, or do the User Manuals show the same specs for all years?

Bump.

I sent Jeff an email just now. I found the SAE horsepower figure (84 @ 4,900 rpm) so now the SAE torque figure @ rpm is the one I'm looking for (not the DIN).

Anyone?

Thanks,

Cap'n, I think he is referring to this item (see .pdf attached).

PORSCHE_VW_914_TECHNICAL_SPECIFICATION_DATA_BOOK___eBay__item_330314002380_end_time_Mar_22_09_13_15_00_PDT_.pdf ( 185.04k ) Number of downloads: 207

I FOUND 2 OF THESE IN A JUNKER I JUST BOUGHT! Can you tell I'm a little excited? They only include 69-74 T-IV models on mine too.

I gave one to Rick Ollah (rick 918-S) for all the help breaking down that junker and I kept one.

It's about the size of 2 credit cards and it could be the coolest little booklet I now own!
