Excellent site here for Porsche 914!
Did the 914-6, as from the factory, have the tail mount shifter as did the 1970-72 Porsche 914-4 so the shifting is similar to the 1970-72 914-4? Was dealer-installed AC offered as an option on the Porsche 914-6? Thanks! |

The 914-6 factory linkage has one less articulating joint than the 4 cylinder (just aft of the firewall), so it is a bit better than the 4 cylinder linkage, but still not as nice as the sideshifter in my opinion.
I tried to find any information on 914-6 air conditioning, and from what I've seen, only the Brumos 916 was converted at the dealer. The kits were for the 4 cylinder cars, and the compressor and associated brackets would have to be completely different for the 6 cylinder engine. Even the 916 had a rather cobbled up system as the firewall had to be cut and notched to clear the compressor belt. It's amazing that no one has come up with an alternative AC system for the 914-6 after all these years. |
