Both brochures mention an oil pressure gauge in the console instead of an oil temperature gauge. Yes, I noticed that as well. Pretty sure it was a factory advertising campaign that got nixed mid stream. Again, no 914 ever left the factory w/ an "S" badge on the back. |

The first brand new car I ever bought was a 1973 2.0. The dealer referred to it as a 914S, the brochures made reference to that, and it was sold to me that way. However, there were no badges or other references to 914S anywhere on the car; just 914 2.0.

Ok, ok you win Andy- let me rephrase: the factory in Germany where the cars were actually assembled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I wonder... if you replaced the temp sender w/ a pressure sender instead & swapped out the gauge as well, would it be that simple & work? Or would you have to add wires to the harness? Seems like that & an "S" badge on an appearance group 73 2.0 are all that are needed to confuse the masses (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

^ Interesting history. But again, never existed. The book is by a publishing company that is not Porsche, but Autobook. Probably saw the "ad" and titled the book because of it. Which is also not compliant with the ad as that the ad described the fully-optioned new 2.0L flat 4. This book indicates that it is a shop manual for the 914S from 1969-1972 (before the 914S was so briefly advertised in existence).

Published in '73 with acknowledgement to Porsche Cars Great Britain for data and illustrations. Only covers the 1.7 engine. Probably totally unreliable.
You should see the pics on the back cover! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
