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?

Wow, Clay--you could see the photos before he posted them?

Yes, that looks like a 912E setup. The 912E had what was (more or less) a 75-76 2.0 liter 914 motor, with a unique L-jet setup. The manifold and throttle body are very similar to the 2.0 914's D-jet manifold and throttle body, for instance.

The spark plug holes say that you don't have 2.0 liter heads. That doesn't mean the displacement is necessarily 1.7 liters, though. It does seem odd that they put a 912E setup on, or at least part of a 912E setup, on a stock 1.7 motor. No idea what to say about that.

Interesting setup, that. You may wind up needing to write down part numbers of all of the parts you have in order to figure out exactly what was used.
