Hi,

After owning a number of early 911s,I am in the process of becoming acquainted with my recently acquired 1970 914-6.
As there are not many of these here in Sydney,I am hoping the experts on this forum can assist me in getting the best from my new acquisition.
It will be a regular weekend driver but no track days.
My mechanics Grant & Tim are very well versed in the early 911s so I should not have many mechanical problems.
It will remain LHD and US spec.

1. I have a 914 spec book WKD 422 221 which doesn't have much -6 info.Was there a specific 914-6 spec book or is all the data in the Service info booklet ?

2. Is the CDI unit the same as the contemporary 911s ?

3. The early 911s have a production number under the lower dash - is there such a thing on 914s ?

4. Are the key codes to be found on the door locks somewhere ?

5. There are workshop manual dvds on e bay - can anyone give me feedback on these ? - are these available through one of our 'tame' vendors ?

6. I have a Bosch fuel filter 0 450 905 002 - is this correct fuel flow for my standard motor ? where is the best physical placement for this filter - pics if possible.

TIA
Dennis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Congrats on your purchase, you should have fun with it. There is no small spec book for the 914-6, but using the 914 book and the motor and front end specs for a 69 911T will give you the info you need. I've never seen the DVD version of the shop manual, but it's probably just a scanned copy of the factory manual (9 binders originally), so should be worthwhile if still available.

The CD is the same as the 911s of those years (3 pin Bosch), and the distributor can be either a Bosch or Marelli.

No markings as far as the key locks, but they're easy to rekey for any locksmith or careful owner.

Not sure about the under dash numbering, I've never looked under there carefully or taken mine apart that far.

Enjoy it in good health!
