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. |

Firing on all cylinders. Turns out, the fuel pump was no good (or not very good)
That and discovered that the MPS does have to be plugged in to the harness for the injectors to fire. When I went to test the 3/4 side, all was attached and worked. Then to access the 1/2 injectors, I disconnected the MPS and the injectors would not squirt. Then, today, went back to the 3/4 side and they would not squirt. Process of elimination and best guesstimate, led me to plug in the MPS and low and behold, they squirt on all 4. Re-installed all 4 injectors and it fired on first tme. Now, with all hoses air cleaner, reattached and connected, it's got a huge stumble when depressing the throttle. Thoughts? Hints? Direction to look? Thanks in advance. Rev. |
