Thanks for posting the diagram Gandalf. I got Back home last night but did not get to look at my wiring diagram yet. From the looks of that diagram, one would infer that the valve was somewhere near the fuel pump. No sign here of the temp sensor.
I will check my wire diagrams and get the wire colors and see if a can find them sometime this weekend. |

Found schematic. Not seen on the last list is: #41 thermo/time switch and #51 cold start relay. The relay appears to be up front on the fuse/relay panel under dash. The solenoid shown is for carbs. The top portion same as MFI. Bottom hose goes to fuel line tee.

There it is! I am guessing the micro switches would disable the system with throttle movement?? They would have wire connections also
Judging by the length of the hose, this had to mount somewhere near the back of the air box. I bet somewhere near/under the battery tray. This is a place in close conjunction of the passenger side squirted and the fuel line feed to carbs. Getting close to solving the whole enchilada. |

Those switches are for MFI car (throttle position). The solenoid on MFI engine was mounted directly on top of fuel filter console.
Has been fun seeing the detective work on this subject. |

I have all the emissions and cold start stuff from my early six #131
The tubes that run into the air box were disabled by being pinched at some point possibly during the recall? Green braided hose is just a place holder. (I have no intention of ever hooking any of this up in the future. It will all continue to live in a storage bin) Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

Green braided hose is just a place holder. (I have no intention of ever hooking any of this up in the future. It will all continue to live in a storage bin) I think the above air filter housing is from a 911. 1. the Shell factory fill sticker is positioned so as to be read from the rear if mounted in a 911. This position makes the sticker nearly impossible to be read when installed in a 914 6 chassis. 2. the feed to the cold start squirters is on the opposite side of the engine from where the supply valve is fitted in a 914 6 chassis. Attached is pic of my cold start valve with disconnected l wire and fuel supply hose and also my air filter with squirters still in place. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I guess that answers all questions remaining about this set up. Thanks all who contributed.
