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. |

Thanks, PlantMan. I've had it running on starter fluid sprayed down the throttle body.
but will certainly be keeping an eye on the points to make sure they're properly adjusted. right now, just cant seem to get the injection to function; no spray, no electircal impulse at the injectors. nada. so, have the injectors soaking in diesel. I removed all the relays (the universal round) tested for continuity and operation- opened them all up and cleaned/filed the points. only fubared one, but it's still operational, just ugly. what's a good way to seal the relays back up? I'm thinking super glue may not be the right approach (I believe that was what held the one I buggered up together). Got the interior put back together again. installed the window/roof seals. not all together happy with how they turned out. maybe the next one I do will be better. thanks again, Mike |
