Howdy folks -
I'm working on a "short list" of things to do before I fire her up for the first time! This is about heating and such.... Need two parts: 1. "Cover for warm air guide" as in Figure 1.2 item # 18 page 14, in Haynes. Need one for DRIVERS side. It's a little plate that helps secure the duct. 2. "Connection pipe" as in Figure 1.11 item # 1 page ??, in Haynes. Need one for DRIVERS side. Though I could probably fix the one I have. It's a J shaped air pipe that goes up. One question: I'd like to have good heat in the cab. I plan on using the 914 year round. Why not? I live in Colorado - it's nice here. I'm also a fan of having all the duct work in it's proper place. The cars are air-cooled after all. So - there's a blower fan that mounts above the engine and blows air through the tubes, the "connection pipe" mentioned above. The fan I have only has ONE exhaust port. Shouldn't there be one towards each side (L/R)?? Is my fan the wrong part # 914 572 011.0 ?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) And even if the fan gets sorted out and does it thing - doesn't the main engine pully fan blow enough air for to provide heat in the cab? Is the blower fan an auxillary fan for heat? I'm confused?!?!? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) I'm also posting about pluming the fuel line..... THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP OUT THERE!!!! CHEERS!! Nate |

As a self proclaimed heat expert. I may be able to help with the last questions. The auxillary blower fan in the engine compartment is to blow air into the heat exchangers while the engine is idling. early blowers have two exits and the unit mounts near middle front on the fan housing. the late unit mounts on the drivers side under the relay board.
Either fan unit must have flapper plates to allow air to flow one way. The late fan should have a "Y" outlet splitting the large square into 2 round outlets which hoses attach to. There are also two flapper pieces at the oulets of the engine driven fan. I also have had problems finding (actually buying) the warm air guides. I took a whack at making some, turned out OK. Shoot me a PM if you still need a drivers side tube. I'll look tonight. $1,000.000.00 |
