I am new to this board, and have a question that I haven't found answered in searching the forum. I have owned my 914 for about 7 months, and love it. It is my daily driver. It is a '74 1.7L (does that seem right?). The PO had installed a progressive carb. I bought the car with a box of FI parts. I think most/all are there, but don't know if they work. The carb is giving me fits in the mornings. How do I test the box of FI parts I have before putting them on the car? It looks to be the appropriate D-jet injection for the 1.7L. I would like to have the FI working before winter.
Thanks in advance for your help |

Well, it is definitely a 1974, and the choices were a 1.8 or a 2.0 not the 1.7. There are a few ways to tell what the original engine was. The first is to check the engine compartment for a decal on the drivers side wall above the relay plate. The engine code was listed there. EC for the 1.8, and the 2.0 was GA. A more obscure check is to take a look at the decal on the fuel tank expansion chamber for the tire specs. If the tire spec shows a SR rating then it is a 1.8, and an HR rating would be for the 2.0 engine.
Out of personal interest, what is the data on the Karmann badge on the drivers door hinge post? The Lxxx is the paint code and the xxx9xxx is the chassis number. DaveP |
