I noticed this on a car in the classifieds. It's a 74 with a/c. My 73 has the gauges all in a line down the center. Was this offset arrangement a factory change in 74 or was it done just because of the a/c? Just curious.

To be clear there were two A/C systems used on 914s.  When one type was installed there was a nifty new gauge panel that angled the gauges toward the driver.  When the other was installed this zig-zag install was used.

"Two"? I know of at least 3. VPC, DPD, and Cool Aire, and there may7 be more. The Cap'n

Sorry, I should have said that Dave and Unclerichy were describing two of the more popular systems available. To simply read the posts in order in may not have been clear to the original poster that they were speaking about two different center console configurations based on the two more popular A/C installs.

I've never seen pics of the Coole Aire system or heard mention of it... the 914s I have owned all had the VPC or DPD units installed. Thanks for setting me straight.
