@tedg04

don't throw that orig fuel pump away.

i for one could be interested? depends. i am in far off australia.

its a rebuilt one - i can tell looking at the cap on the pressure relief valve spring.
hard to know why its out of action.
would have to find out more from you.
could be dicked inside motor wise.
or that section with the three ports on it is all gummed up inside.

by all means get a new in line pump.
but do not send the old one to the trash.

Will be relocating to Athol area in not too distant future and hope to see some other 914's in Spokane / CDA area. I can't wait to get back out west permanently!

Hi all!
I'm a new owner to a '74 914. The previous owner passed away and his children were... Less than knowledgeable about it's history. They indicated it was a 1.8 originally but it "blew up" and they replaced it with a 2.0.
It has a 1.7/2.0 relay board, I'm just not sure it was originally a 1.8.
In any case, I'm in the process of pulling the gas tank and replacing the fuel pump (bought it as a non-runner, and have confirmed it's a lack of fuel and not a relay or fuse issue). Looking forward to having a little p-car to tool around in!
(I grew up in my dad's longhoods, he also had a track prepped 73 914 with a 2.4 motor, and I used to have a 951 and currently have a 996.)

As they say, pics or it didn't happen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Welcome from a fellow Spokane owner. Looks like a great car and I love that color! If you haven't met some of the old guys from the local PCA club with 914's hit me up with a PM. My 1970 is apart for some winter (now spring) work. I hope to have it back on the road in a week or so. A few friends and I race vintage 914's in SOVREN. Waiting for parts for my race car to make the early June event in Spokane. Happy to help in any way we can. You may have already met Brian Westmoreland. He seems to know everyone. Cheers, Jerry

Wow! Great to know there's a contingent here in Spokane. I'm a (very inactive) member of PCA, but would love to meet up with you guys. I think I remember seeing the track car at Spokane Festival of Speed some years ago - though I may be remembering another car or another time...

I have to say, I'm really impressed with this community and so happy I found it!

There was progress today, just not as much as I hoped.

The Dansk fuel pump I got has an inlet of 1/2", which means I need to adapt from the feed hose to that much larger diameter. Fortunately there's a great custom hose shop in Spokane. Unfortunately they're open 7-4 M-F, so I guess they get a stop on Monday from me!

In spite of this, I got the pump wired and mounted. When I cycled the ignition on I heard the pump run! It's going to get there, just not this weekend.

I got the pump in and plumbed today! She runs, but I have a bunch of little stuff to button up before the first drive around the block (ran out of time to finish tonight).

Here's a pic of the fuel line adapters I put together. Notice a shut off valve for the next time I'm in here lol.
