The engine number is for a 2.0l from 1976 for the US/Californian market. The chassis no. must begin with 476 (the 76 is for the year). The transmission no. must be HA 05 08 5.

Hi CT, haven't watch all of this yet due to being busy so far today but the first part was awesome. That carb runs great and advance was better when you hooked up the hose. It is smoking tough so I think after you pull the covers to install new gaskets check the valve gaps. Cleaning the top end under the covers will definitely help it run cooler. I used an external oil filter system in the 70's on my bug and helped it run cooler plus could change the filer easy being it was up in the engine bay

For cleaning the engine block parts, try to find a soda blasting company near you. Soda blasting cleans all dirts from this engine. As the mud leftovers as the burnt motor oil. After that you can paint the block. It does not hurt any surface, and if there is any residue it can be clean with water / oil. Soda is dissolving in water / oil.

So, on that carb base gasket, I would have smeared a light coat of grease on both sides of that dry gasket, it will help it come apart if you ever remove the carb in the future without tearing and sticking to one side or the other, AND- more importantly it will make the gasket swell up slightly and fill in and seal to slight scratches or dings in either side of whats being sealed (carb and manifold) The Coil wires should be Battery Positive on one side, and the other side is the trigger (points) and the tach wire? Right?

@davedarling4316 6 ай бұрын

A few things-- The engine serial number starts with GC. That means this is a 75-76 2-liter motor. (Which was obvious from the air injection and the spark plug location.) The numbers after that are merely a sequential number within the GC series. A number that low is probably from a 1975, though it could be later. The red wire that was with the ignition wiring stuff was for the Auxiliary Air Regulator, a sort of fast-idle valve. This wire provided power to the AAR while the fuel pump was running. The CHT wire won't run most gauges. The sensor is a thermistor, not a thermocouple like most CHT gauges use. All 914s (except the AN-code European-spec 1.8s) ran fuel injection. The single-carb setup is generally regarded as the worst possible way to get air and fuel into the engine. You have already noticed its only positive qualities: It mostly works, and it's dirt cheap.

Back in 1979, I had a new clutch/pressure plate installed in my original 914. The shop doing the job had the same problem de-mating the gearbox from the engine case. I think it was a corrosion issue ... my car spent about 5 years in New Hampshire and Long Island winter roads...

Honestly I would just keep the pistons and liners in order. replace the rings, Remove the crank clean it and put bearings in there. Check the line bore They are usually fine on the type 4s. Probably a ring and bearing rebuild and some head work and it is probably good to go.

What I don't understand is how clean this car was for being completely submerged. I'm guessing it wasn't underwater for very long, like maybe a few days, and it must have been located in a normal parking place, like on a driveway or garage. I used to work at a detail shop. We had a car come in that had been partially submerged (caught near a stream in a flash flood) for a few hours and it looked like a riverbank in the engine compartment and front interior.
