For years, I've installed elbow style fuel injector hoses from Automobile Atlanta on my Type IV engines. (http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-Fuel-Injector-Line-Elbow-Parts-PN-B043133387.html)I'm wondering if anyone knows of another source for these.
The reason I'm looking for another source is because I ordered these on Jan 24, but still haven't received them. I called last Monday and was told that AA actually makes these in house and that they would make sure to make me a set that day and ship them ASAP. When I still hadn't seen a shipping notice by Friday, I wrote AA and received a reply stating that I should not have been told that since they are out of stock and have no E.T.A. for new stock. |

More and more every day.
Carbs are the "easy" way out. They are technically simpler, but without a cam change you always end up playing with them. At least that's my experience on my 2.0. I will be putting the FI system back on it.. |

I will be putting the FI system back on it.. Really, I did not know, so the FI is preferred over the carbs then I guess, I will take my car to experienced 914 people because I have bad smells running rich I think. I could start adjusting stuff like the air regulator but since I have had the car only 8 months wanted a pro to look it over and have his opinion and check this system. |

Bad smells, as in fuel smells are very bad. You do not want a fuel system fire. If you have not already done so, you really want to check the fuel system lines from fuel tank, all the way back. 50 year old rubber, plastic and clamps are bound to fail. I replaced everything on my 2.0 including upgrade to stainless lines, had the tank checked and sealed, new hoses with crimp connectors on injectors, all new rubber, etc. FI is almost always superior to carbs on a 914. A well sorted FI system will run great. Many conversions were done when folks lacked understanding of how to properly repair and before resources like this forum provided superb support. Learn to do as much work as you can on your own. Either that or have your checkbook handy. |
