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. |

Thought it might be the filter, but, gosh, you think it could have been placed in a MORE inconvenient place? Hw often should they be changed?
How concerned should I be with the fuel pump, there being THAT much varnish in the tank- will that have gummed up the pump? |

If you look in the front trunk the carpet is cut in a small rectangle. behind that is a plate that the pump attaches to. You can work the pump out from under the tank thru that hole. The filter will come out too. It is not very easy, but it can be done. They moved the pump up front in 74 i believe, maybe 75. Something to do with fires, or fuel smell in the cockpit. Looks like you have a good car there. Check the pelican parts site, I think they have a long list in their tech articles on getting everything up to snuff. just the basics.... fuel, brakes, lubrication and electric. Sounds easy.
