Picked up a 76 2.0 for my better 1/2.
It's been off the road for the past -10 years. Motor spins freely and, reportedly, was rebuilt shortly before it was parked (which was due to physical limitations). Paint is heavily oxidized. Brakes were locked up, rotors rust covered. Car had been hit previously, and the resulting bondo has cracked pretty badly. Interior is nice, seats have no tears or holes. Dash has a couple cracks, but nothing overly grotesque. As I begin getting this back roadworthy, Am pulling fuel tank to be cleaned out thoroughly. Replacing all fuel and vacuum lines. Changing oil and trans fluid. Will go through brake system. See what's good. What's in need of replace or [email]repair. My question: where can I go for a list of what pieces parts are compatible from year to year in the 914. Interested in front and rear hoods, top, brake calipers - Or more specifically, I've a line on a 71 running complete parts car- what will cross over between a 71 and a 76? Thanks. I look forward to posting pics (when I get them and figure out how they work on this forum. Rev. |

The white box is the fuel filter. That fuel sender might be trashed. I have never seen one with that much varnish. There is probably as much inside which has a sliding float. You can try soaking it a closed container of lacquer thinner. If you are carefully you ca open them up from the bottom. After soaking it turn it upside down and you should hear the float slide to the other end. New ones are pricy at about $160. Sometimes you can find good used ones.

They do not get change often. You should be able to access it through the access hole for the fuel pump.
