I purchaced a 1972 porsche 914/4 a few weeks back and am having a bit of trouble getting the numbers broke down. the VIN is 4722919064. it was manufactured on 06/72. the karman plate in the drivers door reads NR. 2439512. L9H. the engine was out of the car and it has a number stamped onto the block AW009121. there was a set of webers with it and I found the following on them 40 IDF 19. ? the car seems very original with very minamal rust. it cam from michigan. the color is a gold color under the red paint. I bought a 1970 914/4 a few months before I ran into this one and being the other (1970) is body is completely rusted I am going to use it for parts. I have purchaced a number of books on the 914 and some kind of point me in a direction but not very through. I am under the impresion that this is a 1800 VW bus engine. and maybe a off color. I am prepairing to rebuild the engine and I want to be able to get the correct parts. will these webers work? any help would be very greatly appeciated. this is my first porsche/VW 914. I have a 1972 El camino restored by myself so I do know cars. but these little guys are a mystery right now. thanks for reading. before I leave one more thing that I thought was interesting is the front of this 914 has no grills for the driving lights and is rounded unlike the flat fronts of all the 914's I have seen below the rubber bumper its plain and rounded (2 piece).

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Yes it's a 72. Someone here has the paint codes and chip colors listed someplace. I'm sure someone will either post a link for you or you could use the search function and maybe find them.
I'm not the guy for the engine code info either. But wanted to welcome you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) Be sure to record the vin numbers here as well. We keep track of the cars. Specially the ones that get sacrificed for parts. Post some pics of your new passion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) |
