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.
http://www.automotion.com/porscher-fuel-pu...-1970-1974.html 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. |

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.... |

We dont have any such thing.... It probably won't clear the 914 heat exchanger, and being right above the heat exchanger would probably cause vapor lock. With electric pumps, especially carburetor pumps being so cheap, why would you want to put a mechanical pump on the car? |
