This is a Type I head, but it'll give you an idea for the 914 /4 motors.
Paul Guard, of Guard Transmission (maker of bitch'n parts for Porsche transmissions) loaned me this head to get an idea on how to twin-plug my motor. The secondary plug is a 10mm motocycle plug. A modified distributor cap from a Nissan 4 cyl truck engine is adapted to fit on the stock /4 distributor...the rotor is from Nissan as well. I have the drawings for this modification somewhere in my garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Using an aftermarket distributorless ignition would be ideal, but for cost savings, the above will work. There is a company that'll machine these heads for about 300 dollars or so (they do this for aircraft...not for performance, but for redundancy (saftey)) The sockets in the head are to give you an idea of the angles.

I think that VW&P did an article about 10-15 years ago (edit: maybe closer to 20, jeez, I am getting old) about a twin-plugged type 4 in a 914. As I recall, it was a 2.0 and the writer liked the performance. I still have the issue (somwhere??). I'll see if I can find and scan.
If my memory serves me correctly, the 914 was black, with flares and 5 bolt polished fuchs. I do not recall how they did the dizzy. If anyone else has it, please post as it may take me a while to find it. - Joe |
