Hello all, just picked up a 1974 1.8l. New to 914’s but have owned several air cooled VW’s. The 914 has been stored for several years. Just pulled out of storage when I bought it. Will run on starter fluid only. Technically it is a one owner registered car as I have the original owners signed title and as far a si know, it has never been registered by anybody else. Appears to have original 3 port fuel pump. I checked that it does get power to the connector. I then hooked 12v directly to pump, no sound. Gave it a few taps just in case. Seems do is dead. I will. Pull old pump, probably go to a 2 port as easier to find and cheaper.

You can use an aftermarket pump. Airtex E-8445 or equivalent. I have run them on an L-Jet car for years with no issues.
As for the wiring, just pull the black/yellow wire that goes to the fuel pump back to the elbow that goes into the passenger compartment. Then feed it into the passenger compartment following the wiring harness forward. It should make it as far as the front edge of the seats, just behind the shifter. Then buy this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303315275530?itmme...ABk9SR7ycnOicZA It is the correct color and tracer in the correct gauge to extend the fuel pump wire. Just follow the harness forward, and follow the brake light wires down to the master cylinder. For the ground, use a 14 gauge brown wire and ground it at the ground point above the fuse box, and follow the black/yellow wire down to the pump. This is the proper way to do this and the next owner of your 914 won't be using the word DAPO when referring to you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
