I became one of THOSE people this weekend who has acquired a '75 Malaga Red 2.0L that's been in a garage for 20+ years! Cookie cutters with a 911 front end. From the looks of things, somebody may have been involved with local racing. It wouldn't be a 914 without a little rust under the battery, but that appears to be very limited as everything under the rockers it solid.

The cookie cutters look great, those are keepers. No drinks or food on the veloooor seats. The air horn could be for sale for the right buyer.

I had a sweater in the 70's that looked like those seats! Velour needs to make a comeback. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Been doing work on the car but not posting progress, so I'll have to start doing that. Rebuilt the Webers, they are basically in new condition now. There's a new steel fuel line in, rotary fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. The engine sounds pretty good, but there's a huge oil leak so the motor is coming out for a refresh. I have decided to sell these carbs (40's) because I got a larger brand new pair to take their place.

How do carbs work compared to stock FI? Just curious cause I've got a set of 44's sitting around and the FI Is giving me fits.

Larger carbs? How big is your motor?

Engine was dropped. Here's a photo of the Pauter Rockers that are going to be replaced by 1.7 rockers with the elephant foot adjuster.
I'm going to put 44 Webers on. Someone in the past enlarged the engine beyond 2.0. I need to get the cylinder measurements to know the exact size. Attached thumbnail(s) |

44s are very likely going to be too much carb for the motor, unless you've got a real hot cam and rotating bits (and heads!) built to cope.

Why remove the Pauter rockers? Are they worn or too high a ratio?
