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 |

FWIW- The engine code on the customer's engine did not match the case specifics. It was a "W" case with a serial number of only #163. It is by far the earliest TIV case I have seen made of aluminum, the others of that era were not W coded and were Magnesium.
This case was od because it had a provision for a windage tray and thats not typically found in a case easlier than a prefiz "1" W case. It also had a pair of "Z" coded 1.7 heads with smaller chambers that I had never seen before, or since. It don't matter though, because now its a 2270! |
