A coworker, who didn’t know I was into 914 until we were at the bar tonight, tells me that there were 914-4 sold in the US that were factory equipped with carbs. He thought 70 or 71. I say no, only carbed 914 was the 914-6. Whose right? A $100 rides on this. After posting this I’m headed to the books! I could double my winnings from the Texas win, or break even… Michael |

I had a US spec 914 (ealry production 1970 model) that had no US emmisions stuff (no vapour recovery system) I wrote the factory and per the VIN they told me it was a US spec car. however there never was a evap system installed (no port on fan house, now lines nor holes for lines anywhere on the body etc....)
on the phone with the porsche folks, the guy told me that ecspecially early in prodution sometimes euro cars would get stickered as US cars and shipped to the US. So my 914 was tagged as a US model, sold in the US, but was built as a euro car. Off course it was a mistake , an exception to the rule. It did have regular D-jet, so that don't answer the carb question. |
