Hi, purchased a fuel pump from 914 Rubber. Their part number is 043 906 043 The pumpkin is a 70 4cyc. Web site says I need an early to late fuel pump conversion. Can't find anything on website for that.
Anybody have a Idea what I need . I have sent 914 Rubber a msg via their contact us email and waiting to hear back but really don't want to wait in case some one knows about this. Thanks Renee |

This is where the pump is located in my car a 76 . |

This is where the pump is located in my car a 76 . here's a photo Thanks for reply, car is a 70 and pump was in engine compartment. I moved it up to the same area yours is. Lost both Master Cylinder and Fuel pump on a nice twisty ride here in So. Oregon. So MC is in and brakes bled. New fuel pump is next. Seems as if new pump the inlet is larger than the outlet port. If by conversion they mean adapter for line from smaller (out port) to larger OD)line that goes to fuel rail etc. then I have that adapter and no problem. I guess I'm just a ton grouchy tonight. I would think a website would say only late cars fit this pump instead of putting that conversion statement online when you don't sell it and it is not clear at all what needs to be converted. Sorry Rant over! |

If not, did you replace the plastic fuel lines in the center tunnel with metal ones? The early plastic lines were not designed to handle the high pressure that the 3-port FI pump puts out.
