Wondering what this would have plugged into it. Looks like it's a ground of some sort and looks stock? Anyone have a clue? 1973 914 2.0

Thats the heater fan ground for a 1970-72 914. Is your engine original to the 1973 chassis?

The engine code is GA000744 And have no idea if original or not but looks like it was never out of the car. What do you think and much thanks for solving this. I just got this project that was left around for years. I'm still trying to figure out the vacuum hoses which this 1973 seems to have 1/2 73 and 1/2 74? setup. It has a round air filter. Do you have any idea what this other mystery plug is for? no idea on that one either. Talking about the last picture, the one coming off of the thick ones    |

We haven't seen the heads yet... It could be quite a frankenstien. Or simply a strange mix of djet components. From the pics it looks like you need some help routing the crankcase ventilation as well... Get us those pictures of the heads and engine! |

You can see the spark plug angle in the pic, they are not 2.0 914 heads. Leaves a lot of questions as to what the bottom end is made up of. |
