Unfortunately I own a 76 914 2.0 in California. I need to find a source for an air pump and check valve. I have only been able to find used/serviceable pumps and they last about a month +/- before they seize. The check valve is completely rusted through and it won't pass smog in its condition.
Does anyone have a contact that might have a serviceable pump and check valve or know where to have them overhauled? Thanks! I'm desperate because I can't register my car again without it! |

The check valve looks like many used on other cars.
I might be possible to measure the thread diameter & pitch and the hose fitting diameter and find a matching check valve based on the measurements. The valve does not do anything different on the 914 than any other car. I have a couple of air pumps, one is very low use but I don't know what they are from. If you have the original with the part number on it I could compare to what I have. Also Bruce is an excellent source for used parts as well as the classified section here, put a WTB ad and ask if anyone has one. The state smog program used to have a listing of sources for smog parts. They even exempted some cars from having some parts if their sources did not have parts available. I don't know if they do any of that anymore. Jim |
