So i just went out there again and was looking closely the green condenser wire was off the coil but it has those pointless ignition or what ever its call no idea about that so I wasn't sure.. anyway I hooked the green wire back up and she fired up but I shut it down to make sure my wires are correct..

Here is another expanded view of my motor I can't seem to find the engine numbers??

I can't answer about the wiring of the electronic ignition, but I suspect you have now solved your problem. Looks like @Superhawk996 might be the winner here! Post some photos so others who know how this should be hooked up can see. At least you have confirmed that you have gas and spark and your car will run. That's a win right there.

As far as engine numbers a real 914 1.7/1.8 serial number is on top of the case near #3 cylinder stamped on at an angle. For 2.0 engines it is just in front of the oil filler. You are looking for the letter code in front of the engine number to identify it. Once you have that, go here:

If your car is a 1974 it would have either a 1.8 or a 2.0. A 1.7 would have been a transplant into a 1974. Check your vin to see what year car you have. If you're lucky you have a 2.0, not that a 1.7 or a 1.8 is a bad engine. They are all fun.
