I have a 1.8L engine in a non-running '74 I got about a month ago, that has a single Holley carb mounted. It has an aluminum tag that reads "R9677" and "1943". Does anyone know anything about this setup? I've never heard of a Holley on a 914. Is it a reasonable carb for a stock 1.8? thx.

Is that the same carb that was used on Type I VWs? Think it went by the marketing name of BugSpray. As I recall from my VW days, they were cold blooded as Porschetub noted due to lack of manifold heating and had a reputation for engine fires. I don't recall what the root cause of that was though. It might be worth doing some research to understand if its the same carb and why/if they were susceptible to engine fires.
