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 |

The FI will run smoother and more reliably on a 914. The carb linkage is affected by the engine heating and cooling, and the carbs get out of sync easily. So unless you have a big motor with lots of cam, the FI works better. That being said, if you cant find your set of cooling flaps, I have a LOT of them. You can have one set for the cost of shipping. |

Wish I would have seen this earlier. I just got a set off of eBay and that set me back 75 bucks. As far as the EFI, I sold it because I was lead to believe that since I put a big bore kit in it that the EFI being a closed system wouldn't work. Also I am very old school and am much better with carbs. |
