mechanical fuel pump location, Where's it go?? Options

[srthompson01]

I found a mechanical fuel pump for sale for carbeurated 914's on the automotion sight, but I've never seen one before on a 914, VW yeah.

If it actually fits I think I'd like to try it, but, I don't wanna throw away $120 to find out it only works on a specific engine block produce only during the month of August for blue 914's with camel interiors.

Can anyone fill me in?

All 914/4 engines used electric fuel pumps.

There is a un-machined boss on the left rear of the engine for a mechanical fuel pump that was used on the VW Type-IV. That is what the pump would fit.

Unless you use a bus case, that pump won't work for you.

And if you were to try it - What inside the case would actuate the pump?
Usually there is a lobe on a cam that operates a mech pump.
We dont have any such thing....
