I'd like to give a hearty greeting to all my new friends here.
My father purchased a new silver 1.7 in the summer of 1973, and owned it until the early nineties. I was trolling Craigslist Friday, and ran across a '73 for sale. She's in rough shape from a front-end collision, but remarkably rust-free (for a 914) and otherwise pretty complete. The seller wanted a few hundred for the car, so I figured, "what the heck?", bought it and had it flatbedded to the shop this evening. I'll give a lengthier intro with more photos tomorrow, but for tonight, I have a question - The following photos are from this car's engine bay. Is this a 2-liter engine? The badging is for a 1.7, but from the information/descriptions I can find, this appears to be a 2.0. I've not had a chance to vacuum the dust to find if the engine # is between the case and the oil fill tube (2.0) or on the upper right rear (1.7). Also, the ECU is not located next to the battery, but in the front-middle of the firewall. Many Thanks, Carl |

It is a early 73. I may or may not have some odd parts on it. Since it was made before Jan 1 73 it may not have guard beams in the doors. It may have the early window rollers, not the later style.
