Hi! I’m trying to get a 75 914 I recently purchased running again. The previous owner said the car ran fine years ago but believes an electrical problem sidelined it. I’ve taken care of the basics:
Drained & cleaned the fuel tank
Replace fuel filter
Replaced air filter
Change oil
New plugs & wires (forward driver side plug is a PITA!)
Will change tranny fluid

Prior owner left 3(!) Haynes manuals but I’m having trouble identifying a couple of unplugged items.
What does this blue plug connect to?
What does this semi-hard white tube connect to?
Assume I should have a hose going into the air box (arrow)?
Why do I have 2 ground connections going to the battery?

Funny enough the car was in the garage of a house we ended up purchasing. Made an offer on the house and on a lark offered for the 914 plus a 72 914 parts car. I have a 91 VW Vanagon. Hated the VW engine so much I replaced it with a Subie engine and here I am back with a small VW engine...guess I’m a glutton for punishment!
