My brother has a 74 914 2.0 that's going to get a 83 3.0 SC installed into it.
The engine is going to be run with Weber carbs. I know that some members may have a 3.0 installed in their 914's . The question that I have is what type of ignition source are you using? I've heard the 83 distributor cant be used and need to use an earlier one ? Can a MSD 6AL box, & coil be used instead of the cd box? The engine wire harness what's needed to make this work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Luke |

OK, It runs now, and pretty good too! Group: Members Posts: 1,445 Joined: 3-January 03 From: Santa Clarita, Ca Member No.: 85 Region Association: None |
I'm running a webber carb 3.0 with stock dizzy. I split the "pigtail" wire from the dist. and plugged it right in to a MSD6al with no problems. I made my engine harness from the old 911 harness (eliminated most of it) and plugged into the relay board. I guess I thought it would be easier that way.
