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. |

never mind; found it.
Rennlist Techarticles had a 1/2 hour heart attack. somewhere in the course of connecting, reconnecting, disconnecting - motor stopped turning over. key fine. power to fuel pump fine - turn to attempt to start - and just more fuel pump. and then just as mysteriously, it began turning over again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) not sure what to make of THAT. those arent good mysteries. in course of checking grounds to the injectors, discovered that the injectors on both 3/4 share a common ground. as do 1/2 injectors. is this an issue? diagram that Blowsby indicate they are not so paired. dont think this is of issue, but just wondering. thanks again. |
