OK, my car is currently dual carb'd and is running a Facet fuel pump up-front
under the tank. Im eventually going to go back to FI but in the meantime I want to replace the plastic fuel lines (with tangerine's stainless), replace the front rubber lines, and add a front swaybar (sorry CW people). I only want to take the hood and tank off once. I want to enjoy my car as-is this spring. meaning I probably won't do the conversion back to FI until summer. So with that said, I want to run a rotory-style pump (from CB Performance) so I can ditch the Facet. And finally my question... do you think this pump will work behind the lines close to where the original pump will go. I know they say under the tank because those pumps are pushers and not pullers... but if you think about it, with our front mounted tank there shouldn't be any issues. thoughts? |

I just mounted a CB pump below the tank, on the driver's side below the sway bar. This is about the same location as the pump on newer 914's. I used this in conjunction with Chris' SST lines. I am running carbs now, so I only used one line, but I have both SST lines through the tunnel, as I plan to go to a newer version of fuel injection sometime soon, maybe the one Jake sells. By the way, if you go to FI, then I don't think the CB pump will work, as it is only about 3 1/2 PSI. I am thinking that if I later go to FI, I will need a new high pressure pump. JoeO
