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 |

Now for me back in 1985 when I had an engine fire in my FIRST 914 I decided to have a new motor built with the idea of running 48 delortto's since I picked them up pretty decently priced. The shop that built the engine was a race shop North East of San Diego and when the motor finally was broken in and the carbs synched I had awesome power, mileage and never any stumble or other problem, till I met my ex-wife, thats another story. Anyway, I am two ways of this and see benefits in both. Have fun and keep lots of money handy for that eventual day of repair.
