Where is the best place to buy a fuel pump for a 1974 1.8 liter? They don't seem to be that common.

Because the available pumps, if indeed they ARE available, are relatively expensive, you might want to consider using the 2 port pump common to the '75-'76 914, '75-'79 VW T1, and '75-'91 VW T2. Minor simplification of the plumbing is required, and you must use the later model fuel filter. This conversion means you have a NEW Bosch pump, not a cheap Chinese knockoff (with a horrifying record of reliability) or the unknown quantity of a rebuilt one, and at well under half the price (possibly as low as a third the price!).

The Cap'n There is also a German made Peerburg pump that is a replacement for the stock pump. It only has two lines, so you have to take the T fitting out of the plumbing and put a straight piece of hose in, but otherwise it works great. |
