anybody know a good place to look for a new oil cap for a 914. if you are wondering why i need one these we will just say when i bought it the car had a grocery bag with a rubber band around it for an oil cap. by the way if it makes any difference it is a 74 1.8 stock engine.

I recommend the classifieds.

It makes a HUGE difference. Does it have the original L-jetronic EFI? That's the one with the big airflow meter on the driver's side, and the air cleaner mounted on the bgody. If so, it takes a special oil filler cap, with TWO seals, one is an o-ring, the other a flat disc with a big hole in the middle. I "MAY" be able to come up with one in the next few days. Maybe. The Cap'n

thanks for your input i did not know that. my car wasnt driven very long do you think any damage resulted from a plastic bag rubberband setup?

it is stock l-jet

i would check the AA hardparts section of their catalog.

It must have worked, because they won't run at all without a good air seal at the cap. The Cap'n

I feel your pain! I have a 75 1.8, so if you have a 1.8 you have l-jet which means vacuum leaks are bad. If you have an l-let you should get the cap with the two rubber gaskets along with the o-ring for tube and the gasket for the base to ensure you don’t have a vacuum leak. When everything else is perfect this is your problem area or so they say.

Also, the lower o-ring that you will notice when you disassemble your oil filler tube is not on the PET diagrams but Rich has them. Just tell him you want the 1.8 o-ring that James got.

Getting the parts is actually easy. Call Rich Bontempi at High Performance House. He is contact info is:
