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.

I would say where these lines exit the tunnel and enter the engine compartment is where I have some concern, the plastic or wherever the material is looks old, and while not cracked it certainly has had some exposure to heat, but the car has been parked for over 25 years so really not that much exposure. At this point and time I am just trying to get the car running to assess the engine's fitness. So it seems I am most likely fine with the existing lines. thanks for the comments.
