Okay, so I remembered that comment backwards, and the generation of
D-jet that Type 4s never got was our 3rd generation, where the diaphram
style pressure sensor had been superceeded by the closed style plus the
5-pin TPS.
Did Type 4s never get a 5-pin TPS?

Okay, I'm looking at the microfilm now, and I see that in '74 VW produced
4000 EA Type 4 engines. These were all D-jet 1.7 L.
To compare, in '73 they produced 98,793 EA engines and 10,020 EB
engines. All of these were D-jet 1.7 L. In addition, they also produced lots
of
1.7 L carb engines, but those numbers have been rounded up to over 1/4
million, so I don't believe them at all.
In '74, in addition to the 4000 EA1.7 L D-jetronic engines, they produced
39,000 1.8 L EC L-jet engines.
I'm not sure what the difference was between the EA and EB engines. It
seems likely that they were different compression ratios, as the EA came
with 80 HP while the EB came with 72 HP. (Or, to use the proper
engineering lingo, BHP, Brake HorsePower.)
It's interesting that while the '74 D-jet 1.7 L EA engines were still rated
at 80
BHP, the new '74 L-jet 1.8 L EC engines delivered just 76 BHP.
Note that it's possible that these production numbers include everything
that
went into both Type 4s and 914/4s. There's no way to tell, and I suspect
that
engines for both cars were made at the same place at the same time, so
there's no way to tell from here how they were divided up.
