Caught this little 914 on a C-2 Corvette forum posting. Nice, representing our cars in New Mexico I believe:

Still need to troubleshoot the horns, I can hear a quick beep when i hit the button so I suspect the ground wires are not right on the horns or something like that.


Had the same problem. Check the fuse in the fuse box, it may be slightly corroded. Little wiggling solved the problem and made the dual horns sound loud and clear (Far better than the cheapy Mickey Mouse horns in todays cars, btw.). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Drove up a hill a few times (well, on Sunday)... Weber IDFs don't like rapid left/right/left/right turns, despite raised vents and reduced float height. ITBs for next season...

Man I would like to have a camaro like that sitting next to my 914... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif), one of my favorite muscle cars. 914 looks good too!

If the float height is too low, the fuel can move away from the jets and cause a hesitation. I put in the CB kits to get rid of the weber burble (technical term) in the tight turns.

Getting ready to pull the engine/trans. A new to me '75 example has several issues including a bad oil leak.

While waiting for my new SS fuel lines to arrive before I put in the new fuel tank, I sprayed down the tank bay with a strong cleaner and then pressure-washed it.

Clearly the first time it's ever been cleaned.

Much more better and now ready for the new lines and tank.

In the month since acquiring this car, I've fixed numerous things.
  • Fixed the fuel flow issue to the Webers
  • Ran a hose between the cylinder head ports to stop oil leakage
  • Added shoulder belts instead of lap belts
  • Installed an alarm system
  • Installed a new bluetooth radio
  • fixed the driving/fog lights
  • Added headlamp relays and fixed high/low beams
  • painted the rear grill
  • cleaned up some rust accumulation, primed, then coated it
  • Added the shifter bushing at the firewall (YAY SHIFTING)
  • Fixed the targa latch squeak above my head. Maddening!
  • Changed the oil (simple, but didn't know how old it was)
  • Ordered rear sway bar down-arm (one was missing).
  • Added a fire extinguisher
  • Added the Ford solenoid hack to the starter.

Took the 75 Palma car in to have the first gear synchro addressed and turns out that 2end and 3rd gears are gone as well and the inner case looks like at some point it had ran the oil for too long. Ordered all the parts for a complete rebuild after the case spends time in a sonic cleaner.

We expect that this is the last gremlin before we call the restoration complete.

I put in a new set of Stainless Steel fuel lines on Monday. Will be installing the new gas tank on Thursday and we'll start her up.
A total PIA but, gratifying at the same time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

DITTO but a week behind you - received the lines from Pelican today, installed them (lot easier than I thought but still a PIA to get the lines through the front grommet).

Few small things to do but hope to crank her up tomorrow.
