Transaxle code, need help with transaxle code Options

[turbonet]

I am looking at buying what I am told is a '73 2l. I am waiting for the COA a the moment so in the mean time I am look for some help.

The engine has the correct code for a '73 (GA 000435) but the transaxle numbers don't seem to make sense.

trans code:

914/11 HA0053820

From the info I have been able to find the 914/11 portion has it as a '72 but the numbers fall into early '73.

It seems the 914/11 trans numbers stop at HA053072 but the one I'm looking at has a number code that would fall much later and seems to fall into the '73 914/12???

Is there anyone who can shed some light on this for me?

Thanks guys

Thanks guys.

I will be buying car. It will need some extensive rust repair but that's actually the reason I bought it. I need a project.

Now I need a set of carbs or original fuel injection. Only thing it's missing.

If you're going to all this trouble to find a numbers matching early 73 2.0 "914S" - then I'd suggest that you go with the OEM EFI, but you'll need to match all of the EFI sytem components to the same `73 only EFI, since they don't work properly with various parts.

A word of caution though - if you know you have rust issues to repair, & a missing fuel system, & you'll undoubtedly have other cost issues come up on the project - then you'll probably be into it for more cost, than to just find a complete car without rust issues & work on a resto of that.

I probably wouldn't undertake my own 73 2L's resto, if it hadn't been my car from "almost the start" & with many memories (2nd owner since Dec. 75 & 10 years as my DD & only car). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Over time, yes, this car will undoubtedly cost me more. Short term is a lot less.

I just picked up a carb setup for 300 and the car was 3000 canadian vs 12000 or more for a decent car.

besides I need something I can put my "stamp" on. I don't want someone elses restoration. they probably wouldn't do a good enough job for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
