So I am converting my '74 914 to a 3.0 with Webers and am going to run a fuel pump in the engine bay. The PO had the car set up with a big 4 running Motec injection using 3/8 aluminum fuel line setup running from the tank to the engine bay with a return line to the tank. There are presently two AN-6 bulkhead fittings which exit just below the battery tray which I will be connecting to.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1290530412.1.jpg) I'm looking for suggestions on a make and model of a fuel pump to run as well as suggestions for mounting. There is an unused mounting bracket near the fittings which could be easily modified to mount fuel pump. My concern is that it does not interfere with the engine or be located too close for heat reasons. So that is a possibility. I'm looking for a good pump that will run fairly quietly and will last a long time. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

You can probably find an original foglight or rear defoster switch at a swap meet or through one of the vendors so it matches the rest of the dash switches. I ran mine through a simple relay, but I don't know if that's really necessary with the rather low draw of the pump.
