Hi all,
I'm working on a '76 914. It's encumbered by being controlled by the malady that is D-Jetronic. Like every other important component in the system, the fuel injection trigger points seem to impossible to source. I've searched around, and found an article on this site suggesting Volvo sources. That article was from 2011, and I have a D-Jet Volvo, and was unable to find points or any other parts for it two years ago. That Volvo now wears a set of SU carbs as a result. The customer seems insistent on keeping his car as original as possible. In concept I have no problems with that request, but in practice, parts are hard to find, and expensive when found. Do any of you fine folk have a source for these? I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, Matt |

Okay. Those sound like rational answers instead of blind loyalty. I'll have to give D-Jet a fighting chance, and try not to let my past experience with it jade me so much. Bowlsby, I agree that it's easy to understand. As for parts availability, I'd still have a strong case against that. There aren't any new parts produced. By the way all, I've been getting stuff from Brad Mayur at 914ltd.com. Do you guys have any other sources?

Do you guys have any other sources? Matt There are a variety of sources here, some new, some NOS, much used. Bruce is best known for brand new wiring harnesses. I have one of his FI harnesses and recommend it highly. Some items, like the MPS, can be repaired with a kit from Tangerine Racing. 914Rubber has a couple of items, too (e.g., gaskets, TPS board, etc.). If you're looking for something specific, put a WTB on the classifieds or just ask the Forum where it can be sourced. Someone will have what you're looking for or at least point you in the right direction. I have a love/hate relationship with my D-Jet. It took me a while to get my 1.7 running well. Once I did I promptly upgraded to a 2056. Then THAT took a while to get the bugs out. I'm hoping once I'm "there" it will be good for a while. |
