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 was just rereading this thread and admiring all of the great advice that was given me. Thanks again everybody. I haven't attacked any of these issues yet because I have been working on the interior dash and seats ect. ect. I have decided that I am taking most of the advice on here. I have flaps ready to go in and in my boxes and boxes of stuff I have found a brand new thermostat so it will be going in as well. Of course to do all of this I will be pulling the engine out and rerouting all of the fuel lines and doing the pass through and finding a rotary 9psi pump and no pressure regulator. Less parts, less worries. Having the engine out will also afford me the room to rewire and try to make a single plug connection for future removals.
Now for totally off the wall crazy question. Has anybody ever had any luck turbo or super charging on the these engines? Thanks again everybody. I finally have gotten some time and a little cash to do somethings with this car so hopefully I will be posting some pictures soon. Robin |

I was just rereading this thread and admiring all of the great advice that was given me. Thanks again everybody. I am echoing Robin914-4 comments re an education...what a great thread. Reading it through, I / we saw some dissenting opinions but reading to the end gave me a much more thorough appreciation for what these things do. Much thanks to everyone. Yup, my motor is out of the car and I will be installing a set of flaps and a thermostat....which I might add I don't currently have! Will get there though. Thanks to everyone for jumping on this. Not sure if it truly is suitable but the discussion as a whole would be a great candidate for the Classic Thread column. Grant |
