Hi Guys new to forum and 914s. My uncle has a 74 1.8 car that was restored about 20 or so years ago. In my opinion it is in super nice shape for such a old car. he didnt drive it much since it was done and he always kept it covered in his garage. It has been in AZ for the last 15 years. I am replacing the fuel pump and someone put it up by the rack. My question is should i put it back in its original spot or leave it up front. Just want to make it most desirable to sell for you collectors and 914 lovers. BTW I would LOVE to keep it but I am 6.5 and I can hardly get in and out of it. I cant even put my head up if the top is on. Therefore I'd like to see it go to someone who will enjoy it. Thanks for any help. Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. I can move If you let me know.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) No - keep that fuel pump up front, as that was where the factory service/tech bulletin says to relocate them from the engine bay, in order to prevent heat induced vapor lock of the pump/lines. I used to have a pic of Kareem Abdul Jabbar driving a 914 & he's got a few inches on you! So it's not impossible, but may just be a sunny day top off cruiser for you - if you were to keep it & enjoy it - which you would! Maybe try it awhile on sunny days with the top off, go to a few local Porsche Club (PCA) events, etc. & see if you like your Dad's entry into the Porsche world!
