Hi All -

I have added 5 new entires to my 914 blog - thought I'd share with you the (very slow) progress.

Hope you enjoy!

I love the Washer entry.

BTW, your "trivia" from your recent entry is incorrect. The 1967 VW Type III had Bosch D-jetronic FI. Even earlier, Chrysler actually used an early version of D-jet (Bendix Electrojector system) as an option on a very few of their cars, though the cars originally had carburetors that were removed by the manufacturer after they had been installed. Those very early setups were not reliable, and nearly all were swapped out because the early electronics were failure-prone.

The Type III was the first production car to have electronic fuel injection fitted on the assembly line.

The 1974 1.8 liter 914 was the first production car to use an EFI that measured the amount of air that was coming into the engine (L-jetronic), though.
