I need some help with wiring a 914 fuel pump being relocated to the front fuel tank location exactly like the 75/76 914's. The car is a 1971 914/4 being set up for a carbureted 2.4 six cylinder. My question is about where to pick up the power to run the pump correctly.
I would like it to have any relay protections like the original if that is the way it is suppose to be. I think the positive power is to come from the engine compartment relay board from the forward connector pin 13? I plan on running the positive wire from pin 13 under the driver side rocker panel forward to to the fuel tank bay and picking up the ground from the closest grounding point nearest to the tank bay. Any comments or advice would be helpful. Thank you |

That's a good idea. It wasn't possible in my case, as my car is a 73. The original factory fuel pump was below the engine compartment, underneath the battery.

You use a spade connection to the OE connector and run your wires forward. |
