A Little Fuel Pump Tech Info

Thanks for the link. now is there any suggestions on what other fuel pump i can use other than porsche?

Does it have stock fuel injection, or has someone converted it to carbs?

Most modern EFI fuel pumps, as far as I can tell, put out enough pressure and volume for the stock D-jetronic EFI. There are cheap Facet "clacker" pumps for carbs, or more expensive rotary ones. The rotaries are preferred for less noise and generally higher reliability, but the Facet pumps are cheap....

The "EP7262" in the link above looks to be the stock 70-74 914 fuel pump.

Pelican also carries the stock pumps. Note that using the 75-76 pump, while cheaper, requires a moderate amount of re-plumbing.
