I'm replacing a bad low pressure fuel pump on my 914 with dual webers, I've got two questions, first, would it be best to get a pump rated 1.5-4 psi or one that is 4-7 psi? My car has dual regulators so i can adjust the pressure down if needed. Secondly, the pump is mounted beside the battery, would it be better to relocate up where the fuel tank is? Thank you!

QUOTE the pump is mounted beside the battery That might explain the failure of the pump. These type of pumps do not like to prime themselves. Putting that pump up hill from the fuel tank means that every time it starts it probably has to pump air to prime. I used the Holley Redtop pump mounted in the front trunk. I have not run it long enough to know how dependable it is and it is pretty loud. Stu |
