Intro from Washington Options

[tedg04]

Hi all!
I'm a new owner to a '74 914. The previous owner passed away and his children were... Less than knowledgeable about it's history. They indicated it was a 1.8 originally but it "blew up" and they replaced it with a 2.0.
It has a 1.7/2.0 relay board, I'm just not sure it was originally a 1.8.
In any case, I'm in the process of pulling the gas tank and replacing the fuel pump (bought it as a non-runner, and have confirmed it's a lack of fuel and not a relay or fuse issue). Looking forward to having a little p-car to tool around in!
(I grew up in my dad's longhoods, he also had a track prepped 73 914 with a 2.4 motor, and I used to have a 951 and currently have a 996.)

hello @tedg04 .

good looking car.

if its a 74 model then there are only two things it could have been.
a 1.8 or a 2.0.

per @Van B .
if its still got a vin sticker in the door jamb. post up date and month.
if you are comfortable posting up chassis no. post it up.
look at the karmann plate in the drivers door jamb. post up pkn number on that plate.

it might still have an emission sticker in the engine bay.
its up above the fuse/relay board in the engine bay on the lhs.
see what is on it. will list the engine. either EC-A or EC-B if it was a 1.8.
