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:

my 2.0 has the single vacuum port on the throttle body for the dist (diagram shows two pic shows one), the diagrams and pictures im looking at dont tell me about the charcoal canisters 3 ports and how theyre supposed to be routed , or where the vac line from the expansion tank ( i think) coming up from under the car through the engine tin goes. im having a bit of trouble trying to sort it out. i try to switch a line from one location to another as seen on a diagram and the diameters of the hose and port dont match and the like.... itd be nice to look at another 74 djet 2.0 to compare. my decel valve isnt even mounted along with some other large thing with 1 vacuum line going nowhere and an electrical connector. she started and idled nicely today when i first started after replacing a leaky 3-4" section of old fuel hose under the car that connects the fuel inlet to the filter. i still want to replace three other short sections of old hose down near the fuel pump and filter, all the hose come off of this plastic tri-junction. the idle wasnt as nice after i washed the car but i think that was just because the motor was warm from my little cruise. (btw, my car, when running, still creates a huge vacuum when the gas cap is on) i noticed a pool of standing water 2-3 inches deep at the most in the engine bay in the front corner on the drivers side. what is a good way to create a drain so it doesnt sit and rust? as mentioned in the earlier short post, i got all these weird burns on my neck and arms from the gas, i need to take a shower. i think im done for today. got the motor and tranny mounts confused... will solid tranny mounts (in rear) put any huge stress on the transaxle? would the 911 sport mounts be a good replacement for the front? whats involved in replacing both. do you just undo mounts and jack the drivetrain up enough to remove the old mounts and get new ones in? that seems to easy for a 914. clearance issues? other things need to be disconnected/removed to pull it of im sure...
btw wheres this 914 breakfast going down? my dads hosted a 914 gathering at his business before, and i autocrossed his car at marina so ive met some folks already. he did the west coast classic trip, or part of it. hes currently got his car at high performance house in redwood city getting a bunch of things done. (1.7l swapped out for a 2056cc, shift kit, new mounts etc..) |
