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. |

So, after a summer of other priorities got a fuel pressure gage on to determin I'm only getting 14psi.
Headed into the market for a new fuel pump, it would seem. |

That is a good thing to do. It might take me a while, but I could find the vendor that did mine, or someone will chime in. I got lots of data back with mine. They change out all the tubes and o-rings, etc.... Probably to e10 gas standards, can't remember. Then, I let them sit for several months before I put them on.... The cleaning fluid gums up. Had to send the injectors back and they cleaned them once more. Just paid 3rd and 4th shipping to and from Michigan as a stupid tax... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) My pump worked fine after sitting for 10 years, but it made an awful sound, so I replaced it too. I added a permanent fuel pressure gauge to the engine bay so I could quickly verify pressure when needed. Keep working at it. Clark |
