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 fuel lines running through the tunnel, back into the engine bay.
What are they made of? The return line seems brittle at the end. What is the longevity of these? Would one go about replacing them should they be compromised? |

Would one go about replacing them should they be compromised? They are plastic and probably should be replaced. 40 year old plastic under pressure can leak = fire. Most folks here use stainless steel lines from Chris Foley(tangerine racing) or Rotary914(in the vendor section where I got mine) There's also a shorter set in the engine bay going through the engine shelf underneath the battery. Those are replaced as well. |
