Did some years of 914s use a tach that only had one turn siginal lamp, like VWs?

Yep, 1973 and up used only one dot or round indicator. All early car had the two arrows fours and sixes.

Porsche was notorious for not making changes at an "exact" time rather when they ran out of the previous spec parts.

My 73 has two as well. Don't think it was added later unless they also added a L & R circuit in the wiring harness. I think single indicator came in 74 when they removed the silver button from the center of the gauges.
I have late window regulators on early doors (no impact beams). That was a mid 73-model year change. Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when you are the first one through a green light. Did the semi-retractable seatbelts also come in 73? Mark 73 2.0 |

The tach went to a single turn signal indicator with the 74 model year. Except, of course, for the early 74s that have two indicators. But the good part--those are wired together, so they both flash at the same time!! They used the 74 wiring harness with the 73 tach, and just added another light bulb so both arrows would flash...
The inertia-reel belts were available in the 72 model year. Not sure if they were a part-year thing or not. (The parts book/PET should have the info, but I don't have access to it at the moment.) --DD |
