I recently picked up a 73 1.7 that had been stored inside for 20 years. The body is great as expected sitting inside, but the fuel pump does not work among other things and looking for a replacement I see that they are no longer made. Great! Can I retrofit a later model pump to fit my car? I thought the injection systems were pretty much the same all the way through the years, but the newer pumps look vastly different from my hunk of metal pump, mine having 3 hose connections and the newer ones only the typical two. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't even think about arguing with people on here who have forgotten more than I know about 914s, but I moved my fuel pump up front because I had two pumps fail by leaking fuel all over the place. I just couldn't get comfortable with the idea of a leaky pump 6" from the HE.
I also went with the SS lines all the way down the tunnel and into the engine compartment. I've heard some say that the 35 year old plastic fish tank lines in the engine compartment are just fine, but I am not a born optimist, so those got replaced with real fuel lines too. Just one man's opinion. |
