914-4 vacuum hose locations Options

[monkei]

hello, patrick a. here. just accquired a 1974 1.8l 914-4 and i have a good bit of work to do to make this vehicle in any sort of shape to go long distance cruisin/autocrossing. various electrical gremlins/nasty old rubber fuel lines and a lot of general tune up needs to be taken care of. im having trouble figuring out where some loose vacuum lines are to be routed. this first picture shows some vacuum valve that i believe is routed to that evap. can that looks like a tiny muffler and has a cut line that im not sure where to put:

1. Take the smog crap off (but save it for a while in case CA gets wierd)

2. The White Pipe plug covers the timing port. If it's not in place, you'll lose a shit pile of cooling air.

3. The charcol canister/expansion tank is mounted on the fuel tank - two hoses run from the front trunk to the engine bay thru the rocker panels and exit into the engine bay behind the heater blower fan. One is connected to a hose bib on the fan housing/tin (air supply) and the other to the air cleaner.

4. Dave Darling has a diagram of the '74 hose routing on the PP site you can print. http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/technical_...el_diagrams.htm

5. Look on the little shelf between the oil filler and the fan housing - if it's a GA 2.0, the number will be stamped there. Also, how many studs hold down the intake runners at the head - 3 = 2.0, 4 = 1.7/1.8

6. If your car is bucking on shift, probablility is the front motor mounts are shot. You can place a crowbar between the engine mount bar and engine case and pry up - if it moves a lot - the mounts are shot - two little rubber donuts right at the oil pump on the engine case. Can be changed in car - just a pain in the ass. BTW - Solid motor mounts in front will eventually crack your engine case.

7. Welcome to the site and have fun.

8. Bruce - the two port vs the one port TB is the dream of some engineer. Guess they decided that retard only was needed for emissions. Both TBs are marked 039 indicating 2.0, but supposedly '73s had the two port and '74s had the single. Go Figure. (I can also say that some were marked 021 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) )

Ok, my $0.50 for Sunday
