Looking into a well-kept 76 2.0 liter with 130K.
Strong looker with "no rust" but has carbs and I told myself I really want injection. The injection parts are in a sealed cardboard box, car has had carbs (almost typed "crabs") for 15 years or more. Question is, why did I tell myself I want injection? I'm not a real CW but one of the vendors' site about buying the 914 has the "beware the carbs" caveat in the article. More HP out of the engine with carbs? More reliable? Thanks for advice. biz |

If Howie got 75 mpg with the 911, he was riding on a flat-bed.

Appreciate all the replies. Appreciate the welcome to the group. Even though it's snowing out and I''m stuck in northern Michigan (and loving it!) I miss my 914. I know I'll get one soon...
Anyway, I searched under dellorto here and found a great thread with many of the same answers: in some ways it's a toss up, and many of you have had success with each. I'm the kind of mechanic who does tuneups and clutches, never really fiddled with the FI, never had problems with FI in my prior three 914's. The car I'm writing about has carbs on it, I don't think I'd dare to take it apart and throw the FI back on right away if I got it. But who knows, I'm getting pulled back into this 914 thing so strongly that maybe someday I'll be giving out advice! Remember, my posts are WORTHLESS WITHOUT A PICTURE and that's only because I DON'T HAVE A CAR (sorry to sound so needy!) biz |
