@StarBear & @wonkipop want to hear from members who own 1974 1.8s.
to assist with a topic in originality section of the website. Cars need to be reasonably original with L jet fuel injection system intact. If you have the time and can help us with some information it would be great. information. 1. Vin Date - month and year (no need to post vin numbers if you don't want to). thats the date on the driver door sticker. 2. Karmann plate #. or if you have already done the maths, the day and week of the year the car began production. 3. Image of engine bay emission sticker (lhs above the air cleaner - white with red letters). sticker should say whether it is an EC-A or an EC-B engine and whether it is california + EPA or only EPA. 4. image of engine tune up sticker. this is the small white sticker that is on LHS engine tin just below fan shroud. most of them are gone by now, but some engines still have them. 5. image of the throttle body. image of the distributor. we are looking at the vacuum hose set up between the distributor and the throttle body. ----- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

@RRietman
thanks mate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) EDIT. just to fill in a bit on why we are after this. yours stacks up against our EC-B stickered cars. has a vacuum retard and advance function on dist fully hooked up to throttle body. that set up accords with the late Cap'n Krusty take on all L jets. however - there is very definitely an EC-A stickered car. one at least. and that likely has a set up @ClayPerrine says was the L jet set up. only the vacuum retard function is hooked up. dr. 914 says that set up kicked in start of jan 74. but there is defintely EC-Bs being produced right through jan 74 at minimum. i have one. its end of jan 74. it will be real gold when someone throws up a EC-A stickered car with an intact setup. also there is an EC-B sticker that says its only EPA approved. but we don't know the setup. a few members out there with those setups might start to shine light on the mysteries of the 1.8. |

2 weeks prior to mine. I’m sure we’ll gather an EC-A car soon. |
