We found this while preparing to remove an engine from a customer's car.
It's a necessary component on a 914. The part it's modified from is also a needed component, but unknown if actually off a 914.  A sideways thru hole is isn't visible in the pic. It's pretty crusty so I won't be surprised if no one comes close to getting either the current application or the original. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

It does go under the engine, but not a shift part.

It's the proportioning valve for the brake system.
Looks like it might be off a ford pickup, then repurposed for a 914 ? |

Don't worry, Eric, I've got this one:
QUOTE(OU812 @ Jun 2 2016, 05:56 PM)  It's the proportioning valve for the brake system. It's NOT a proportioning valve. It's a pressure regulator! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) Or IS it....? |
