I'm new to the porsche game. I have a 73 with a 1.7l. It all was in a box. I've had experience with Type 1 bug motors but not 4. I have bought the weber progressive carb kit, planning on ordering the svda 034 from hotspark. Is the camshaft a big issue since it was an injected motor? Any info will help. Thanks.

Actually, you are new to the NARP game. If all you've owned is a 914, you haven't really owned a Porsche, dontcha know? :-)

okay, educated me. What is NARP? Yes, in your world, I AM obviously that stupid. Let's see... my dad had a karmangia... that he died in a crash. Every stamp and lable has VW on it. Realy, I asked a simple question because I thought this was probably a reliable site for REAL answers. I guess not. Have a nice day. Brent!

First, calm down.
Second, welcome.
Third - no one said 'stupid.'
Fourth - this is the right place for reliable answers, although the reality is that some of it may not be what you want to hear...

'NARP" - Not A Real Porsche.

The widely-held perception that the 914 is "not a real Porsche."
(The whole history is available here and elsewhere - the facts are plain enough. I will say no more.)

99% of the people here don't actually care if it's a Porsche or not, and 99.5% don't care what anybody else thinks. So just consider it a term of endearment...

There are thousands of pages of excellent technical information on this site.
Learn how to use 'Search' - it is your friend.

Most of the information in this thread is spot-on, but yoy may not be able to tell which is which is yet - you will, soon. Just as we're not calibrated on your experience yet, so some of the responses here may not be as well directed at the could have been.

If you're bringing up a project car, please - first - check for rust! Everybody wants to dive into the engine. You may discover after spending a lot of time, effort, and money on the engine that you have way more work ahead of you getting the chassis and suspension sorted. And it's no fun fixing rust with an expensive rebuild sitting under a tarp glaring at you...
