Hey Everybody. I have been searching for an hour with no luck. I have a 1976 914/4 that I have converted over to 44mm Empi's. Now I am setting up the fuel system, new low pressure pump, stainless lines, presure regulator, etc. what I can't figure out is what to do with the extra line I have on the fuel tank. Should I cap it? Vent it? I did run both stainless line back to the engine bay so I could t them in or what ever. I just need some guidance.
Thanks in advance. Robin |

Here's a close up picture of my engine topside. In the white circle you can see the wire that comes up through a hole in the tin. It attaches to that clamp which is spring loaded and mounted to the cooling flaps rod. The rod is partially held in place by that little flat piece next to the spring (I had to fabricate one because I was missing mine). This picture was taken with a cold engine. When it warms up that clamp will rotate, I dunno, maybe 60 degrees (?) CCW (from the direction this picture was taken). As others have said it's not strictly necessary to have the thermostat in place. It's not GOOD for the engine or your gas mileage but you won't have a catastrophic failure necessarily, like you can expect at some point without cooling flaps.
