I'm trying to source the lower air guides for my cooling tins, since they are missing. How much difference is there in these parts from model year to model year? I'm guessing the difference is due to the change from tail shift to side shift, or?
I'm running into different info from different sources. For example, Pelican Parts' diagram says that the passenger side tin is good for all years, but the driver's side tin is split into two variations: 70-72 and 73-74. http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/parts/engi...metal_large.htm They say that 022119356A is for 70-72. But Auto Atlanta says that part is for 73-74. http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-022119356A-srch.html Who is right? BTW, I've got a '72 1.7 but it's been modified to side shift. So which one would I want - 022119356A or 022119356B, or does it matter? |

#3 in the diagram @ pp is for tail shifters. pictured item in the link @ aa is the drivers side for 73-74 heat exchangers 1.7/1.8 or 2.0 and a ss trans. you can prob source one in the classifieds for less than $64. whether that 64 includes shipping and handling i have no idea. shipping should top out $8 or less via priority mail but not in a flat rate box. I figured just by searching for images of 73-74 that that one pictured at aa was the one for the ss trans. My concern is the part number. I've found both part numbers from other sources for about $25, I just want to make sure I'm ordering the right one. Being that the only difference in part number is the letter, I'd assume that "a" being earlier than "b" is for 70-72, but the aa part number/pic disagrees with that. That's where my confusion stemmed from. My wife's '71 has those tins. I'll need to swap the driver side for a side-shift style tin after the 'new' trans goes in, but I don't run with them on the 'BB'. I think they're more effective for the cold climate areas, no (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Have you had any overheating or running hotter than normal issues not running the lower air guides? This is my first type 4, but I come from the type 1 world and not running lower air guides on a type 1 does make a difference in temps. I'd think they'd make more of a difference in hot climates since they're used for channeling hot air away from the engine, but I might be wrong. |
