The heater blower fan is from a 70-72 car. Chances are pretty good that it's a 1.7 engine. The engine number likely begins with "EA" or "W", and is on the rib below that green return spring on the carb. It could also be further over to the right, where the crankcase turns down and is vertical.
There's also a chance (it wouldn't be the original engine if this is true) that it could be just in front of the oil filler, between it and the fan shroud. --DD |

from your pics it looks like the engine code is missing from its usual spot. it should be right under the carb return spring you posted. heres the pics of my 2 engines..ones in the car and one on the stand:
  you can just make out the first 2 letters the karmann sticker tells you the original paint code of the car the black sticker tells you the man. date and MY im sure more will chime in with better info. i wonder what L97 G paint code is? |

QUOTE(silver74insocal @ Mar 1 2011, 12:13 AM)  i wonder what L97 G paint code is? L97G was Gold Metallic in '71 and '72. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=colors Paul, your car was originally this color. My '74 2.0 came with the Weber Progressive carb like you have there. It's fine for getting it running, although you'll get a lot of hesitation and stumbling in cold weather. Eventually you will probably want to convert to dual carbs or take it back to the original stock FI, if you can find all the parts. |

anybody in az. can help this guy?
best bet is to have a local 914'neer to help out. there's alot to having the FI system complete properly. good news, plenty of 1.7 stuff out there. tricky part, do they work, after all this is 40 year old stuff If you're going used. new? ya got money? First thing first take a BIG shop vac and clean her up! Second get a Hayne manual It can help 98% of the time. Oh yeah (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) get it running and enjoy it while you learn about all thats needed for FI. but its your call...seems like you got a lil bit of work ahead of you before you have to worry about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) good luck |

"we can rebuild it...we have the technology.." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) all that wiring under the dash is gonna suck. take the seats out and puts some blankets down say you can lay in there for awhile. i REALLY like the gold cars i would be stoked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) DAve |
