welcome....got a haynes manual yet and a volt meter?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
check out the 914 Resources section, a fellow member makes and sells speaker pods that fit into the stock location to allow better/bigger speakers...if you have a center console a speaker can be put in there...if you don't have one, you can buy one with the speaker mounted in it.... other than that, it's all up to your imagination and budget... |

I can only guess that they mean the yellow wire that goes from the ignition switch to the starter. That one runs through the center tunnel and hooks up to the front of the relay board. The yellow wire continues in the "engine wiring harness" that hooks up to the back of the relay board, goes through the rear engine tin, and hooks onto the starter. There is another wire that taps into that circuit inside the relay board; one of the pins of the four-pin connector that the fuel injection hooks up to is a part of that circuit.

thank Dave,
found it....now all i have to do is put it all together and hopefully it will start and run...hehehehe Dave, you're at Pelican Parts right? well maybe you can help me then. I am looking for a muffler for my 75 914 1.8L. for some reason every time i find one that say its fit 1.8L , it doesnt . it seem that the muffler is too long. I took a measurement of the top bolt holes and the distance is 24 inches. and it have 3 bolts hole on each side and its rectangle not triangle. Do you have one at Pelican? thank |

that is for the alarm?? I guess it would be to disable the ignition (if using the key or trying to hotwire it) of course a good thief could just use a screwdriver at the starter to start the car if they knew how to play with the wiring in the engine compartment and had some jumper wires (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) |

can you take a picture of the exhaust? these cars are over 30 years old and many have had multiple owners, good chance your exhaust is not stock....hopefully it was backdated to an earlier exhaust |

Yup, see my reply to the PM.
A pic of your heat exchangers would help us to ID them. Then you can get the type of muffler that bolts up to the exchangers you have. OK, my first opportunity... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) --DD |
