1971 part identification Options

EDITED to put smaller pictures below.


Ok, so my sister has a 1971 Porsche 914 that somehow I've been asked to get running again. It's had a few too many people under the hood over the years so there's quite a list of projects to do.

So first question is there a good manual that would be recommended for these so I might not have to ask question like will be below. Haynes, Chilton, ??

One of the first project is new fuel line front to back as they are pretty rotted. Next project is to verify the wiring as there's been a lot of playing around with the double relay.

Since I'm doing fuel lines the tank is out. Under the tank was a vacuum type line that didn't seem to have a home. Any suggestions where this was supposed to go. Come through the floor loops around and ends up by steering shaft.



Next question is what are the correct names two sensors? They are part of the double relay wiring and I'm tracing wires. Blue one, Brown one.


And then for now on this thread. What is this?

Thanks for the replies this will help.

Any other ways to determine if this is a transplant? VIN is 471. It's air cleaner is one that takes a square filter like the current newer model cars of today. This is also one that was made into a convertible so it's had a few mods over the years.

I've found both Pelican and Bowlsby's sites and been wearing them out from all my traffic. My experience is 8 cylinders and carbs so this is a new adventure for me.

Yes the AAR valve had an electrical plug from the FI harness. In my pics the harness is on my bench as I've been pinning it out trying to determine if the double relay is wired correct. Needless to say it's wiring condition showed that it had been messed with quite a bit.

Last known status of the car was that it would start and then die once the key was released. This was back in 2012. So I figured I'd start by making sure this relay was wired properly.

But in reviewing other items I found all the fuel lines rotted and somewhere there is no longer a fuel filter so that is my current project. Surprisingly the tank only had a few signs of light rust inside and looked pretty clean.

Then I'll get to tackle the shifter system. There is no rear bushing and the rod has popped out of the transmission part.

And on and on and on...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I put a couple more photos up. So here it is at its arrival at my place.

And here is the joy I found under the hood.
