I purchased a 914 late last year to work on with my sons and have been working on cleaning up the engine. I was "told" by the PO that the car was a 1974 1.8L. Well the VIN and date code on the door panel indicate a 1974 chassis, but I could never locate the engine code. After some cleaning up, I found the engine code of EA035662. Looking at the engine code chart on the World, this indicates a 1972 or 1973 1.7L. The guy who is doing some welding on my car said he thought the engine was a 1975 or 1976 b/c it looked like it had some emissions stuff on it. I don't know enough about these engines YET to know the difference. I took a few photos, tell me what you think.
