Dick how are you doing. Being driving the 914 for the last week on and off, giving it a shack down. What tranny mounts are you running? I thing the ones in the car are worn out and not sure solid ones are the way to go? Daryl. I'm running the stock trans mounts...with the Renegade spacers. They seem to work fine for me. I do not have a high HP motor...maybe 230 HP, 270 ft lbs torque. |

Some more work in the engine bay - fuel filters and pump. Also secured all the wiring harness branches with rubber lines clamps. Today i need to cut off the screw ends inside the interior of the fire wall. Bent and installed a steel fuel line for the V8 Carburetor. Hey Daryl ! I run a pretty similar set up ! What fuel pump is it your using ? I have the same one It came on the car and boy is it loud lol Attached thumbnail(s) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) I'm sorta old too...but still playing with cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I finished my SBC conversion this summer. Mostly Renegade conversion parts. Mine has their belt driven water pump set up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-20876-1579047225.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-20876-1579047226.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-20876-1579047227.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-20876-1579047227.4.jpg) Here's a few underneath shots... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-20876-1579047227.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-20876-1579047227.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-20876-1579047228.7.jpg) Describe your shifter issues. You should have the side shift trany in your 73 which actually shifts quite nicely with new shifter bushings all the way through and adjusted correctly. I replaced the FI fuel pump with a lower pressure one for a carb. Used the stock fuel lines back to the engine compartment. Short piece of hose from it to the carb. Off the shelf aftermarket throttle linkage holder and stock throttle cable. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-20876-1579047228.8.jpg) Stock 914 wiring harness with just a few simple mods to run the fuel pump without the ECU and to light the alternator idiot light. Plenty of help available here on the World. I could not have done mine without this forum. Very Nice Dick. A true sleeper with the single exhaust for sure. BTW where did you get the 914 8 emblem on the back? |
