ok here goes. i have been enlisted to help a friend that has little automotive background get his 72 914 running after a 5+ years in storage. this far i have pumped the gas tank empty and filled with fresh. the fuel pump runs till it builds pressure then stops running. i have spark into the dist. cap but no spark out. cap and rotor were new when parked. now the rotor is nothing like i have ever seen before. i have very limited experience with american muscle and im a diesel mechanic for a living so this whole extra ignition system is borderline voodoo to me. i cant seem to get this sob to run and im bound and determine to do so. so if anyone can tell me what i need to look for that would be great. also i need to know the location of the fuel pump and fuel filter(havent looked yet but figured im on here ill ask anyway). thanks for any help and if more info is needed let me know and ill get it promptly as possible. vin will be here soon

QUOTE(scotty boy @ Sep 29 2013, 04:41 PM)  Points winner winner chicken dinner. i also had to replaced ignition condenser. It ran for all of 15 seconds till I'm thinking the fuel filter clogs because fuel pump shut off. no i need to locate and replaced fuel filter (need help with that) and i need to know more about the electric system so i can pump the last bit of crap fuel out before installing new filter. and i would like to just jumper the pins were the relay goes to run the pump. does anyone have and good information for me?? i have also included pics of what i think is vin info its about all i could find.
