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. |

compression check this am revealed I've got 130-140 psi on each of the 4 cylinders.
Other good news, the car turned over - - however was unable to get oil pressure to build, presuming that the Oil Light should go out after cranking sufficiently to test the compression. I do have the gages in the center console tore apart; might this have something to do with the oil light staying lit? realized I should have painted the hell hole and the battery tray last night, as now I'm in a holding pattern until the POR 15 dries. verified that the fuel pump does in fact pump fuel. that's another good thing. so just awaiting a little bit more drying time before assembling and giving a test fire. |
