Ok. Here is the engine compartment with just the beginning of the "gross" cleaning. Because it was GROSS!! It will be perfectly cleaned with no alteration to finishes, patina left in place. My understanding is it is all original with the exception of Petronix added inside the distributor. Original coil was left in place. Close ups will be shown. Please give comments on anything not original if you truly know it is. I am rapidly learning about these as much as possible. I have collected unrestored muscle cars most of my life. Had this car fall into my lap. Always wanted one. Thanks for the help!!

As much as we respect George's experience with these cars, I do have some photos of original 1975-76 engine bays with red colored vacuum hoses on the decel valve. Highly unlikely these were not replacements but factory originals.
http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/Exceptional914s.htm Its easy to see other modifications in your engine bay, although minor. And while its very nice, saying it 'has not been touched' is overreaching. These cars, any car, needs routine maintenance and its a disservice to the car to not maintain it. Replacing vacuum and fuel hoses, spark plugs, filters, servicing the injectors, is normal and customary. For example, your fuel hoses, at least at the cold start injector are replaced. Only an inexperienced mechanic would use that serrated hose clamp on a pressurized fuel hose. The photos do not depict it, but it looks like you have an electronic ignition? Not original. |
