I was recently asked whether the 914-6 had a different air cleaner housing from the 911 of similar vintage. I had always heard that it was unique in being flatter on top to clear the engine lid. Upon checking the PET, I saw it does have a 911. part number, so I now wonder if I was mistaken. Any gurus out here know for sure?
