From the engine bay picture here are a few thoughts if I compare to mine (1972 1.7L engine with carb)

- On my installation, there is a hose that connects the oil filler tube to one of the carb. I guess it is to vent the case and send the oil vapor to the combustion chamber
- On your distributor, you seem to have the vacuum advance (retard) ''device''. In mine, I don't have this
- You have the hoses coming to and back from the charcoal canister. The return from the charcoal canister goes where? It should go in the air intake to end up in the combustion chamber
- You seem to be missing the cooling flap connecting rod.

I am sure that you will get other thoughts, but quickly and with my short experience, this is what I see

Shivers, sadly no. I'm a few hours West of that, closer to the Thousand Oaks area.

Hey there - Congrats on your project and you're in the right place for great info & moral support! Sounds like I am nearby - quite a lot of 914s in SoCal but only a few right around here that I know of. Lemme know if I can help in any way!

I definitely echo advice to go-thru the brakes. Wouldn't be surprised to find fluid like maple syrup and seals dried-out. Rear caliper venting is frequently maladjusted also.
