I recently started a restoration on a 1974 914 and I have found some oddities. First of all the ID numbers match, 4742920XXX, and the door jam ID plate shows the mfg date is 1974.
I believe it was originally a 1.8L however the engine code is W0016751 which indicates a 1.7L 1970-71 model year. And it has a side shifter transmission. I am working on the parking brake at present, and it is the folding type which indicates an early model not a 1974. I know my 1973 did have a folding handle as well. So my question is this, was there some mixing and matching of older model parts in later models? |
