@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) |

shouldn't you be asleep?! yeah, should have been. woken up by a commotion in the lane. couldn't get back to sleep. think its a side effect of the dicktator's vid lock up, gotten used to the quiet. its getting noisy around here again at random hours now that the lunatics have been released from the asylum. ------- the executive order numbering system is simple. each manufacturer gets a number after the A VW gets A-7 then each submitted engine family gets a number in chronological order they were submitted. its starts in 73 for VAG. 1973 A-7 thru A-7-2 covers 914S, 914 1.7 and other ac vws. 1973 A-7-3(covers 914.2 from oct 73 and other ac vws) A-7-3-A (covers 914.2 from mar 73 and other ac vws) A-7-4 water cooled dashers. A-7-5 (covers 914 1.8 from jan 74, and from mar 74) A-7-6 twin carb kombi. 1974 A-7-7 thru A-7-10 covers the 75 914s and other VWs. if its to be taken at face value there is nothing missing on CARB file unless there is an A-7-5-A revision that is missing. seems to say only EC-A (or as its written EC-a) 1.8 have exhaust emission approval and only from from jan 74 on. 914 mystery continues. but its safe to say there was such a thing as an EC-d and it was in 412s. as well as the EC-a that is in 914s. as far as california goes. and we know there is an EC-b, its in some of our 914s. and there probably was an EC-c. maybe in 412s. |
