If my old eyes are correct, it says 'Conforms to California regs', a California car. When you get a chance to look, does the label indicate it is an EC-A or EC-B engine?

Yep . . . it does say California regs. (I should have just edited my last posts)
Despite the sticker, IIRC I believe it has an EC-A engine? I really don't remember it being an EC-B, but I should be able to check when I go home this weekend. |

I know it does . . . but I think the actual engine code is EC-A. Thats what I remember reading when I bought the car. I wouldn't have to much problem believing an engine had been switched if this is the case.

Jim D: what is the VIN, chassis # and engine # of your 1.8 car? I'll try to confirm if the engine may be original.

QUOTE(davep @ Oct 17 2006, 01:23 PM)  I have corresponded with Brad Ripley, but he is more of a 356 guy. I have also enlisted Jens from type4.org to help on the aquisition of data from the VW side of the engine tin debate. Brad Ripley was a key member of the Stoddard group in the early 70's &, as I recall, had a really sweet twin pulg motored 914/6. Haven't seen him in 25 years, but he also (I think) started the old 914/6 Registry that is now part of the 914OA. Figured he would possibly be helpful. BTW Dave...haven't forgotten your foglight grills. You should get them next week. |

So far, only a single (!) reply on the engine paint stamp front I am afraid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Here's the original post, I just bumped it: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=63813 |
