The deepest part of the case is the protrusion around the drive shaft. Since I seated the shaft further into the gear, the base of the notch is now inside the protrusion.

I filed off the end of the protrusion (easy, since the pump case is aluminum). I took off about 0.75 mm (0.03 inch).

Now the base of the notch extends beyond the case.

Now the pump sits tight into the engine case, with about 0.75 mm clearance with the cam end (without any gaskets).

And the pump gears sit inside the case and do not protrude.

To celebrate I cleaned up the case through-bolts, washers, and nuts.

I found my left-over Dynamat, and decided to use some scraps on the bulkhead under the dash, since the relocated fuel pump is on the other side of this sheet metal.

After about 20 minutes. It might not matter much, but I would rather not hear the pump.

I then got on to installing the main gauge panel.
I finally got the LED bulbs for the indicator and back lights. Attached thumbnail(s) |

First I replaced all the bulbs in the common back-light string.

Here's my references for wire locations: photos I took in October 2019 (never enough) and the color schematics.

And then, done. I was able to find places for all the wires, and wires for all the places.

And then I installed the gauge panel.
I have a couple more things to check, and then I plan to connect a battery and see if some things work. Attached thumbnail(s) |

And then, done. I was able to find places for all the wires, and wires for all the places. Make sure you don't put an LED in the "GEN" socket. The alternator needs a load to charge. I think you are already aware of that. Hi, Mike. I should have mentioned that--one of the few things I remembered to do (or not to do) the first time. |

Thanks for sharing. +1, tons of details most of which are never addressed (myself included) Great job and thank you for documenting. Is there an end date for the build? |

I was aiming for September, since we have our big annual car show on Labor Day (except last year). But now I have some other things showing up on my calendar. And even if I had nothing else, it would be a challenge. Since winter can start here in October, I think I should pace this into next spring. |

I got some 50 mm hose, that almost matches the 60 mm stuff from 914 Rubber. It is also a bit stiffer.
