Hi All,
Totally new to the 914 so sorry for the Newbie question...I come from the Triumph TR world so I’m like a fish out of water! Just been to see a very rough 914 car locally to me. The owner of the car is telling me that it’s a 1.7 L ( who am I to argue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) ). My understanding is that the car originally should have been fuel injected with the Bosch D-Jetronic injection (incidently, my Triumph TR8 uses a L-Jetronic injection). Here are a few pics from today of the engine bay...it’s in quite a disarray. Can anyone tell me what this might be and if it is correct (pretty sure it isn’t). Looks like I might only be able to add 1 photo so I might have to make an additional post below...  Cheers Tush |

Welcome to the 914 world !
I guess you were looking for a next project and not a driver if I see these pics..... Hard to tell anything from this pics, but it is a type4 engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And Yes, it should have an injection system, but it was at some point in time swapped to carbs. But it misses a lot, for example all the vacuumhoses around the engine and other stuff. Listen...before you buy this car, there is already a lot of rust in the pics and those are only the few pics of 1 side of the car....are you sure you sure you are looking for a project Is this a 1973 914 ? |
