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?

Thanks for measuring the top part, seems it is th same. Though my original -6 has the holes for a cold starting system, one was never fitted on mine. Has none ever seen an actual cold start system fitted on their -6? I don't think any were ever actually installed.

Many were disabled due to the engine fire concerns. It also had a metal airbox (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) - MR |

Some good info there. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=283855 |
