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 pic of what the flaps look like when in the full cooling position.
Note that the passenger side flap is pointing down to direct air into the oil cooler. Without that flap down like that (or no flap at all) none of the air would be forced through the oil cooler. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/bowlsby.net-179-1448931124.1.jpg) |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/bowlsby.net-179-1448931124.1.jpg) I looked at the system for a long time and swore that the pass side flap in that position will direct the least air flow over the oil cooler. In that position the oil cooler air flow is almost completely blocked. When I removed my cooler entirely, I riveted the door DOWN in that position to stop air flow to the cooler. Is that the incorrect method to stop flow to the cooler? |

Is that the incorrect method to stop flow to the cooler? Take a look at this pic with the flaps only partially open. That passenger side flap has a flange that curves down into the fan housing. When the flaps are all the way open, like in SirAndy's pic, that flange directs some of the air right to the oil cooler, while most of the air goes over it to the cylinders. Attached thumbnail(s) |
