Brand new to the 914 world. My car, a 74 2.0 was parked for 25 years, bought as a roller. Now missing the fuel pump( among other stuff) looks like it was plumbed for a 2 port pump anyway as 1 line to the injectors with a return line only at the end of the run, no y connector. I plan to replace all of the fuel lines so now is the time to place the pump. Seems real easy to place on firewall as lots of room there. I have read countless articles but not much recent stuff and most are vague with instructions assuming I have full comprehension of the car, which I don't. It sounds like stainless lines in the tunnel are a must, what fuel pump is suggested? Front or rear?,modify and put in tank?? Suggestions or point me to a current article. Any help really appreciated.

Jim that looks great I may replicate when I move it from the engine bay.
On the topic of worm gear vs band, I recently had to use the worm gear to get a tighter clamp when the band produced leaks. Possibly the crimp style band would be better than the screw type band. I had a question regarding hose size. For pretty much everything I'm running 3/8 FI line. The 3/8 fits snug on the send line. The return line is thinner. While 3/8 fit I did need to use the work gear clamp. I'm using a 911 Fuel pump. The out end is very tiny, a worm clamp here allowed the 3/8 to fit, but a 5/16 probably could have worked. The fuel pump inlet is a struggle to make the 3/8 work. What is the normal setup for everything including the smaller fuel filter ports? |
