Hello,
My son and I have a 1975 Porsche 914 1.8l. Has the same stock fuel injection. Been sitting in the garage for years, but want to revive it. So far, took the gas tank out, getting professionally cleaned and sealed, all the rubber hoses are shot, but the 2 plastic fuel lines appear to be good.

Need advice on just about everything, but engine issues first.
1. Removing all the 1975 smog items. Not sure what exactly what smog items to take off and and what should be only be remaining to run the fuel injection. Step by step instructions would be good.
2. Seals and gaskets to replace.
3. Pulled off the old heat exchangers and old Ansa exhaust, to replace with a header and muffler.
4. Air cleaner improvements?
5. Performance upgrades.

Suggestions welcome !

Although the plastic lines seems fine, I would replace them with stainless steel lines. Tangerine racing sells them and a local guy from la also (sorry I forgot his name).

Most seals and rubbers that I replaced are from 914rubber.com

There are plenty of folks from so cal that always happy to lend their hands but will have to wait for that until we get rid of this cov19. And a lot of helpful folks here in the 914world.

Congrats!

P.S.
