This is exactly where mine is. On the rear fire wall on the passenger side.

Been there for six years no problems.

No arguments here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It is definitely up for debate but it would seem the "Best Place" to mount it would be up front where it eventually evolved and was placed by the factory in later models.

For ease of application relocating somewhere in the engine bay may be easier and stop the vapor lock issue, but in the case of a complete restore I would pick the forward position, or maybe an adaptation and put the pump in the fuel tank where most modern vehicles have there's.

The cooler the better.

That pump pictured is NOT IN the engine compartment. It is under the shelf in close proximity to one of the stock 4 locations. Other than pointing out your error I have neither the time nor the inclination to debate the issue with you.

To chime in here, mine is in the coolest place possible.... inside the fuel tank! Nothing better than having the pump liquid cooled.

Hey guys,

Got to play around with my 914 yesterday. With the help of my neighbor, we were able to figure some things out.

The fuel pump is mounted in the wrong spot. Mine was the one that was zipped tied from a previous post. Really stupid. It should be mounted on the passenger side fender area under the car from what I can tell. However, those rubber mounts at hold the bracket on are broke. No way to attach it back. Pelican parts does not have these any more.

Is it safe to install it in the engine compartment underneath the PCM or does this area get to hot? Any other places you guys would recommend?

Thanks,
Jason


While you moving the fuel pump to the front, you should strongly consider replacing the plastic fuel lines with stainless. Tangerine Racing has what you need to do that. A bit tedious but worth the trouble.

I've done both the front trunk kit and more recently the firewall installation on Dad's car. I see no problem with either, except the front trunk location was a PITA with taking AX gear in and out every event without hitting it.

consider the 75/76 location and cover to keep things safe.

As far as the location goes, to me the firewall is fine, but I too moved it up front and I installed a few reusable or cleanable racing filters...

Rick Olah did a nice 75/76 conversion on some car...he posted pics here, it was a really clean way of doing it.

My guy put it here. Is it good to go? The filter slides out easily for changing.

Was there a better choice?

Mine is also mounted as in the previous picture, but I used some rubber isolation mounts to quiet the pump and installed a switch (with a relay) to turn the pump on and off. I think the front location is an easy choice (especially with the carbs on my -6s.

Definitely NOT in the engine compartment.

My pump has been in the engine compartment to 14 years. Hasn't been a problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Where was it 15 years ago? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
I assume this is your black car? I didn't know you had that one longer than the Zonker or others. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
