Hi all!
I'm a new owner to a '74 914. The previous owner passed away and his children were... Less than knowledgeable about it's history. They indicated it was a 1.8 originally but it "blew up" and they replaced it with a 2.0.
It has a 1.7/2.0 relay board, I'm just not sure it was originally a 1.8.
In any case, I'm in the process of pulling the gas tank and replacing the fuel pump (bought it as a non-runner, and have confirmed it's a lack of fuel and not a relay or fuse issue). Looking forward to having a little p-car to tool around in!
(I grew up in my dad's longhoods, he also had a track prepped 73 914 with a 2.4 motor, and I used to have a 951 and currently have a 996.)

As they say, pics or it didn't happen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

hello @tedg04 .

good looking car.

if its a 74 model then there are only two things it could have been.
a 1.8 or a 2.0.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

per @Van B .
if its still got a vin sticker in the door jamb. post up date and month.
if you are comfortable posting up chassis no. post it up.
look at the karmann plate in the drivers door jamb. post up pkn number on that plate.

it might still have an emission sticker in the engine bay.
its up above the fuse/relay board in the engine bay on the lhs.
see what is on it. will list the engine. either EC-A or EC-B if it was a 1.8.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

I got the tank out today, and the fuel pump out from the service panel.

New pump and filter are ordered from pelican parts and I'm hopeful that I'll be driving it next weekend!

The pump I took out looks very different from the replacements I've seen. I guess I'll be doing some wiring (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Welcome also. I am from the area, have several air cooled. The Porsche Club local chapter has an air cooled section that meets at a shop on a monthly basis. A lot of 914's are there. Some great knowledge available. You may want to consider joining in.

WCR, west coast ramble. On the Oregon coast this year, unfortunately I am out of town during the time.

Thanks! My wife and I will just barely be back in town from the east coast, might be hard to swing that. I'd probably annoy everyone by driving my 996 rather than the 914 (ac and cruise make that 9hr drive a lot nicer lol).
