Picture needed - 73.5 CIS Fuel filter

[HarryD]

Hello All,

I have been asked by my PCA chapter to write an article on replacing the NLA Fuel filter on my 73.5 CIS Car. Unfortunately, when I did the work, I neglected to take any picutres of the original install.

I am hoping someone out there has a shot of the original filter and accumulator setup they could send me. Of course I would give you credit for the shot.

TIA

There was a supersession or a recall for this. Your Porsche dealer has the info. Or, try Stoddard. I had this on my '73. As I recall, the fix is a '74 type filter, a new console, and maybe a fuel line or two. Of course, you'd better take a careful look at all the hoses, if you've still got the cloth braided type on there.

The filters were available two years ago from SFF in the Bay area; I have a restored 73.5 filter and accumulator assemblywith new OEM filter (Bosch 0-450-903-056 made in Portugal) and new OEM fuel lines ready to go backon my son's 73.5 but no digital camera on hand Jim

Tom/Jim,

Thanks for the info. I wanted to get the upodate kit but, like the filter, they are NLA. After some poking around, I was able to install an updated filter but need a photo of how the original was installed.

This the thread where I show the completed conversion:
