Just bought my first. Numbers reflect car and engine are 73. It's a 2.0 with dual webers. Engine number is GA0000282. Are the webers a retrofit? Or was it an available option back then?
General consensus? What's better for more power? The dual Webers or with fuel injection? |

Welcome to the club NOSLIWW Travis, that was my understanding too till I was corrected by the Cap'n. He said they were all injected. I don't remember saying that, but I'm old and my brain is feeble. European 1974 1.8s, for sure, had 2 crappy Solex single throat carbs with the idle circuit for both in the right carb. Throttle plates wore out in about 30K miles, accelerator pump jets fell into the intake ports and they were difficult to tune. I dunno if they had 'em in 1975. All USA version 914/4s were equipped with EFI. The Cap'n |
