After many responses to converting to carburetion I've decided to look into cleaning up and using the stock system. My concern is the boots that go over the fuel injectors are ripped off and the main harness outer housing has turned so brittle that It will probably break if moved very much. I assume I will be changing all of the fuel and air hoses but the are a few connections that are proprietary that look like they are in bad shape. Where would I go for replacements. If I'm going to do this I'm going to do it clean. Thanks.

“FWIW the plastic connectors are of the same material as the 50 year old brake fluid reservoirs on all 914s which still serve their purpose, so this is no cause for concern.”
Not really a good comparison. Brake fluid reservoirs don’t live in a hot engine bay with current running through. Many of the connectors on 30-50 year old Porsche’s are failing. If you reuse a 50 year old connector, will it last another 10-20 years and why take the chance if you can get all new. |
