Car is a 74 2.0 D-Jet.
Put power to my original three port fuel pump today and it leaked like a sieve at the seam. All hose connections are good. I would be fine switching to an aftermarket two port pump. I remember hearing about a Bosch pump on this site at NAPA for $31, so I did a search on 914world to find the link. Just checked NAPA and the same pump is now $186. Found a "Hayg" on Ebay for $50. Ad says it will fit a 914. But it is ebay and a pump I never heard of. Has anyone found a reasonable aftermarket replacement lately? Thanks. Bob |

Operating system pressure is 30PSI, more or less, and the pump needs to be capable of somewhat more than that. I don't recall the flow rate. It is NOT recommended that you use a higher pressure pump and regulate it down. This has, over the years, to be pretty commonly disastrous.
