So I met with a man last week and put down some money on 1972 1.7L 914. the body is in excellent shape, all the carpet was removed which made it easy to see any ares that could have been reusted out. minor rust in the lower crease in the rear trunk. the battery compartment and under the batttery. He told me it won't start due to a starter issue. the injectors, plugs and wires are all new. also has brand new empi wheels and tires. I'm picking up the car on friday and plan on spending most my weekend on getting this car running again. So im sure i will be spending alot of time researching possible starting issues and cleaning fuel lines.

Spent another week troubleshooting the slow start and found my battery lead to the starter had a nice whole in it as pictured below, not its cranking almost fast enough. so i decided its time to shift focus.
I plan to install an inline fuel pump in the front trunk i just want to know if anyone has any ideas or pictures of how they replaced their bad fuel pumps, and if their are some things i should look out for, i also would appreciate some decent pictures of 1.7L engine bays with each leg of their Djetronic lines highlighted so i can ensure im hooking up things correctly. unfortunately everything was unhooked when i bought it.
