Brand new to the 914 world. My car, a 74 2.0 was parked for 25 years, bought as a roller. Now missing the fuel pump( among other stuff) looks like it was plumbed for a 2 port pump anyway as 1 line to the injectors with a return line only at the end of the run, no y connector. I plan to replace all of the fuel lines so now is the time to place the pump. Seems real easy to place on firewall as lots of room there. I have read countless articles but not much recent stuff and most are vague with instructions assuming I have full comprehension of the car, which I don't. It sounds like stainless lines in the tunnel are a must, what fuel pump is suggested? Front or rear?,modify and put in tank?? Suggestions or point me to a current article. Any help really appreciated.
