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 |

I am confused with this discussion of flaps or no flaps. I have been running my 2.2L carbed 4 with flaps set at full open/no thermostat for thousands of miles; some at top speeds over long hauls across the Arizona desert, California mountains, from the beach up to Flagstaff in a downpour then a driving snowstorm (without any heater - much less engine coolers), and I have a cool running engine that takes longer to heat up to running temp but is far from fried or frying.... i am fully appreciative of Dave's acumen in the annals of 914 lore but i remain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .
The other day, it was 119 degrees in the desert and the car went from 68 at the beach to 119 and back.... and ran like a top.... ////way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached image(s) |

I am confused with this discussion of flaps or no flaps. You *do* have the flaps, which is correct. The trouble comes when people completely remove the flaps. That will cause problems, as the one flap serves to duct air through the oil cooler. But people have, for years, thought that the flaps only get in the way and removed them. Having the thermostat be non-operational isn't great, but it isn't awful. Removing the flaps completely is awful. --DD |
