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 |

Thanks for the instructions on the plumbing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Installed the new Bosch two port fuel pump from GPR yesterday. Made a trip to the local ACE for the hardware I needed. I ended up going with a 59 cent pipe mount to secure the pump to the firewall. I didn't want to drill new holes, so I modified it slightly to line up with the mounting holes of the original 3 port clamp. Cut pieces of rubber hose as vibration dampeners where the mount meets the firewall. The pump itself pulled up tight against the firewall as well, so I ran a piece of thick mastic electrical tape along the back of the pump. A couple lengths of hose on the supply side, some brass hose menders and it was done: |
