On the 914-6 a couple intake manifold questions:
1. Would the same manifold be used for Weber IDTP and Zenith 40-TIN? They ones I took off our car had Zenith 40-TIN on them. I'm wondering if I can use the same for correct Webers. One version of the listed part numbers seems to match 1970 911 where Zenith were used. That seems promising. 2. Were they originally black? I've seen some restoration videos where people powder coat them black. Including the inside. Ours appear black. That said, I think they are magnesium. Why would Porsche paint these? Thank you. Photo as found on engine.  |

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Jan 4 2024, 06:25 AM)  Stock -6 factory engine picture I had not seen that photo. Thanks. Those intake manifolds appear black to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I had thought the upper valve covers were black?! The ones I took off our car were, and given their condition I assumed they were original. Perhaps not. |
