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? |

QUOTE 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 Hmm.... maybe I've had some misconceptions about my motor then... because that's what I've got for carbs on mine- two little single barrel Solex carbs. So either the carbs came from a euro motor and this one was still converted.... or it was a euro motor that was installed in my teener... Hmmm.... |
