Hi,
After owning a number of early 911s,I am in the process of becoming acquainted with my recently acquired 1970 914-6. As there are not many of these here in Sydney,I am hoping the experts on this forum can assist me in getting the best from my new acquisition. It will be a regular weekend driver but no track days. My mechanics Grant & Tim are very well versed in the early 911s so I should not have many mechanical problems. It will remain LHD and US spec. 1. I have a 914 spec book WKD 422 221 which doesn't have much -6 info.Was there a specific 914-6 spec book or is all the data in the Service info booklet ? 2. Is the CDI unit the same as the contemporary 911s ? 3. The early 911s have a production number under the lower dash - is there such a thing on 914s ? 4. Are the key codes to be found on the door locks somewhere ? 5. There are workshop manual dvds on e bay - can anyone give me feedback on these ? - are these available through one of our 'tame' vendors ? 6. I have a Bosch fuel filter 0 450 905 002 - is this correct fuel flow for my standard motor ? where is the best physical placement for this filter - pics if possible. TIA Dennis.

Wonderful looking -6 you have there. Signal Orange with 15" fuchs always looks sweet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
2. Yes, Bosch CDI is the same as early 911's I believe. 3. 914 Vin numbers tell the production number, driver side A-pillar has the vin tag, and driver side forward door jamb has the Karmann Karosserie tag that gives paint code and chassis number as produced by Karman. 4. I think factory replacement locks came with a tag on them that included the key code, and the lock cylinders may have been stamped for a key code. 914 locks are pretty straightforward to re-key though as long as you can find the wafers. Repro wafers are available. That's all the info I can answer for you, goodluck with the car! |
