@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) |

found where LJet914 got the California Air Resources Board documents from.
https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/new-vehicle-and-engi...duty-trucks-and nothing in there for EC-b. however CARB does note the records may be incomplete. looking around at other manufacturers documents and even some of VWs the business with rescinding the order is unusual. they also do it for the documents covering the 914 2.0 for model year 74. i can't quite understand what the document LJet914 posted means as they seem to rescind the original order (jan 74) and then replace it with the same thing (march 74)? Also the orders are quite late in date, comparable orders for other VWs and other makes of cars, including porsche for the 911 are dated sept or oct of the calendar year the model year starts. so there is some funny stuff going on where the EC-a is gettng approval in jan74 instead of sept/oct 73 where you expect it to be dated. ---- i had a good look either side in 73 and 75. found this. slightly off topic but worth posting. @JeffBowlsby probably interested. looks like Volkswagen of America was calling the 73 914 2.0 a 914S at the stage they wre submitting for CARB approval in Oct. 1972. |
