I believe most of the parts that you mentioned as being in common with the type 3s are shared by both the 1.7 and 2.0 L versions of the type 4 914. Those cars
are also referred to as 914/4s.

The last 3 years of 914s replaced the 1.7 with a 1.8, which was L- Jetronic, so that was still a 914/4, but not a D-Jet and with no significant parts in common
with us. (I think the injector seals are the same.)

The 1.8 was only used in 1974 and 1975, not for the (short) 1976 model year. The 1976 model year was odd because apparently it only "existed" in the US market, the whole production from 8/75 until the end of the (calendar) year was shipped to the US, and at that point production ceased. The '76 914 only came with the 2.0 liter, but there are persisten unproven rumors about a couple of 1976 1.8s.

The 2.0 was the result of added Porsche engineering, and many FI parts carry different numbers than their 1.7 counterparts. Any VW parts numbers that start with "039" were devised for those 2.0 engines, as opposed to 021/022 for the 1.7 and 1.8, or 311 for the 1500/1600.
