I just roughed out the placement of the 75 pump in the 73 stock location. Not the best fit. One problem the fuel filter can't be secured in the 73 filter holder. I also think the plastic lines might have to be trimmed. You guys have any suggestions? I'd rather not move it up front. Capt'n is this the way you have done it? Thanks for the help.

I've had two injected 914 that had vapor lock problems. My 1st '74 1.8 and a '73 2.0. They both would give problems whenever the ambient temps were over 95, and the fuel tank got below 1/4. Moving the pump on the '73 helped, and the '74 got converted to carbs with a Bendix heavy duty fuel pump in the stock locaton (yes in the heat trap) and never gave any trouble. Last I heard it was still running on that 25 year old fuel pump!
