Porsche 914/4 & 914/6 1970-1976 Workshop Manual

312 pages and more than 600 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. When the new Porsche 914 was announced in 1969 (as a 1970 Model), Floyd Clymer had already published a number of Porsche and VW manuals. Those publications included manuals for the Porsche 356 and 912, the VW Beetle, the 1500cc/1600cc Square-back/Hatch-back and the Transporter/Bus.

Consequently, it was no surprise that Floyd would begin preparation of a 914 shop manual. Floyd was able to complete the Porsche 914 manual in record time, mainly because he was able to re-use most all of the 'mechanical' pages from his previously published Porsche and VW manuals. The only entirely 'new' section that he had to prepare was a chapter for the body components as they were uniquely different from any previous Porsche or VW model.

Unfortunately, due to his untimely passing in early 1970 the 914 manual, although complete, remained unpublished and obviously, it only covered the early 914/4 1.7 liter and the 914/6 2.0 liter engines. We have taken that original manual and updated the information to cover the later 4 cylinder 1.8 liter and 2.0 liter models through 1976.

While much of the general data is shared between both the 4 and 6 cylinder 914 variants, owners of the 6-cylinder 914 model are encouraged to read any individual chapter in its entirety, as it may include information that is specific to the 6-cylinder version.
