Looking for a complete 914-6 (not 911) air cleaner assembly.

Thank you.

Why? is it a real /6?

They were plastic and not near as good as the steel ones.

Just gathering parts for a conversion. A steel one would work, of course, and will go that route if the deal is right.

one on ebay for $500

Saw that one....thought I would check here first !

Thank you for letting me know, though.

I will post some pictures...

I believe there are two designs of the plastic air boxes. One has provisions for air tubes and a metal elbow oil breather which were not used on the 914-6. Some 911 models have the oil breather pointing the opposite direction as well.

The other is all plastic including the breather elbow and no extra provisions for air tubes.

The other thing that is really hard to find is the air intake trumpet with no provision for the preheat hose. The 914-6 and early 911's ran this type.

I have been researching this topic and have seen lots of factory 914-6's with all types of air boxes. Metal, plastic, with and with out hose hook up, snorkel pointing right, snorkel pointing left...yadda...yadda.

The Porsche PET shows a diagram of a air box with out any provision for any auxiliary air hook ups. It also shows the carburetor spring clip mounts having the solid clips vs the wire type. But it is just a drawing. I have no clue which is correct for the factory 914-6 ?

Good input, Pete. I thought there was just one type of housing....looks like there might be options!

Lots of confusing configurations to look out for. Just because its plastic does not automatically make it correct for the 914-6.

914-6 and early 911 factory plastic air box (Note the plastic oil breather pointing towards the oil tank of the 914-6 on the left side of the car):

Some various configurations of plastic air snorkel, the 914-6 and early 911 snorkel is on the left:

The other type of 911 plastic air box with the extra tubing provisions and the metal oil breather pointing the opposite direction:

There looks to be two on ebay that would be correct for the 914-6. You will still need to source the intake trumpet and mounting bases.

Hope this plastic air box tutorial helps...

Bill...don't buy a box yet. That is all
