I have a 1.8L engine in a non-running '74 I got about a month ago, that has a single Holley carb mounted. It has an aluminum tag that reads "R9677" and "1943". Does anyone know anything about this setup? I've never heard of a Holley on a 914. Is it a reasonable carb for a stock 1.8? thx.

As I am sure you likely know. Many will say there is no "reasonable" single carb set up for the 914.
But the Holley R-9677 is a fairly middle of the road two barrel carb. Believe it is the same as the Holley 5200. Used on engines 2.8 L and larger so should be plenty for a 1.8. But with the single carb set up there will always be issues with good performance and such. If you got it non running you can almost be sure the carb needs a rebuild. Kits are $50-$60+ and a lot of time and experience. Hard not to go with reman one for a $150 to $200 if you are going to keep the carb set up. Going this route eliminates a lot of potential problems to run down when trying to get it started. |
