AS Gereed75 stated. This should be a simple proposition.
People will tell you that the early will not shift as well as the late. I have a stock 72 that shifts just as nicely as the 75 I have. It's just more difficult to get it to shift correctly, but can be done.
Get the kid to move the shifter knob while you are looking under the car. I'd bet you can spot the issue. I'd check at the firewall 1st. Your year "should" have the tail shift trans. If so a little more complicated, but doable. If you are lucky it may be converted to a side shift. Post up some picks while you are there.
Hope this helps -
Also let me know if you need anything

Wow mark thank you for the diagram, I'm just amazed how nice and helpful everyone has been towards me, I think I'm going to become a 914 addict. I wasn't expecting the car to delivered till Wednesday but I think it will be in my garage tonight. I plan on posting lots of pictures because I'm really excited about this car, I have always been into hotrods and custom trucks and never really new the 914 existed, the more o research and hear from people who own these cars makes me fall in love with these cars even more. Thanks for the help
Sincerely Jerry h

No problem, lots of good folks here and a few are quite sensitive to scammers, so the initial greeting may have been a bit rough but we are pretty close knit.
You will find most here enablers for your addition.
Post lots of pic when you can

Thanks everyone , lots of pics coming soon. I hope this car is as nice as I thought was when I first looked at it. Maybe I can get some advice on what needs to be done to make it a great example of a 914
