Hi All

Have seen this on an unrestored car…does anybody have anymore details…? I assume the 022 refers to the 1.7L but what about the other number?

Any insight would be appreciated…thanks

Andy

According to my list:

604 is a 1974 1.8L, but I don't know which engine code it is?
605 is a 1974 1.8L EC-B engine code, CA-model
606 over P is a 1974 1.8L EC-A engine code, USA-model

Att 1.8L are EC-code engines but there were sub categories. Look for the label on the drivers side interior engine bay side panel, it will tell you. EC-A, EC-B etc.

All 914 years, all models as far as I know.

mr. b

this is gold.
that sticker.
thats probably what i had as sticker and i have a plastic can in the engine bay.
there is a trace of it in the same spot (can still feel where its tacky).
is it in all the cars all years?

you remember we were pondering the plumbing on the charcoal can set up for the engine bay cars.

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=347951

StarBear and I (engine bay cans) are very sure we have original plumbing in above thread.
which we suggested is plumbed up differently to the layouts for the frunk can cars.
and there is official literature which supports the plumbing for frunk cars and for engine bay cars in their different forms.

an EC-A is a frunk can car with the porsche evap system (plumbing diagrams you have)? frunk can cars come first for early part of 74 model year in 73.
A = first version?

an EC-B is an engine bay can with VW evap system (plumbing diagrams we have)? engine bay cars came after in second half of 74 model year. B = second version?

they did move the can one more time closer to the battery but all the photos i have seen show that its plumbed like the earlier engine bay can in the VW manner. so it would still be an EC-B?

just a thought.

Don’t think that’s what the ECA/ECB means.

The S&T manual page posted above is for 1975 models, it lists both ECA/ECB, yet for 1975 all the charcoal cans were in the engine bay.

yep that cans that thought.

the mysteries.

maybe its just something they did to make the prehistoric version of cancel cultural warriors down there in sunny so cal think they were still getting gear that was superior to the rest of the great "unwashed" of the country?
