I've installed an Airtex pump on the car as recommended by many.
The car does run but terribly.... I hope I've installed correctly and put the "T" adapter in the right place. The fuel line from the tank goes to the filter then to the pump. The pump output line is then T-eed to the other 2 lines.... Have I got this wrong? Is the filter restricting flow? The car has been sitting awhile and I've put fresh gas in. Otherwise nothing has changed. Any help is appreciated. |

I look at this pic and say get rid of the braided hose, worm gear and spring hose clamps.
To me those things are a recipe for disaster on a 914 FI system. Proper FI clamps only, SAE 30R9 FI hose. I'd also use a vibration dampener on the pump mount, and a boot for the positive power lug. |
