Is this a correct Oil Cover Lid for a 1970 914-6? It appears to have a threaded port for a temperature or pressure sensor / switch. I can't find that part number in the 914 or early 911 parts catalogs.
901.107.701.3R

Very interesting! Thanks for the visual aids. Do you know if those ports were threaded?

Our engine was missing the carbs. What we have now is a set of Zenith. The intake manifold has openings, but they are are not threaded.

Dennis those carbs and manifolds are from a '70-'71 2.2 911T
Two year only combination.
Not drilled for the vacuum ports....but could be.
How serious is your restoration ?
Those manifolds will be just fine on your 6 unless you insist on the absolute correct
parts.
The only difference is the vacuum ports which you will likely never use.

Thanks for sharing this. The devil in the details with the sharing between and evolution of these Porsche cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Very fair question. It is an original 914-6 in quite good condition, but not numbers matching (i.e. the chassis came without engine or transmission. We have number range appropriate replacements). So for things that are missing or need replacement, I plan to go stock config with Porsche or OES parts. The exception might be if we have to get new pistons and cylinders. Anything that we already have (e.g. carbs) that will work without requiring modification I will continue using till they need replacing. Or my obsessive tendency doesn't allow it to remain.
