Help identifying engine tin

[techweenie]

I got this piece with a batch of engine tin, and I don't recognize it. There's some kind of 'scoop' formed on the driver's side up where it mounts against the chain cover. I believe the very early 911s had a fuel pump in that area. Could that be it?

you sure thats not a Corvair part?

Yes, that is for a ’65-’66 Type 901/01 engine with Solex carburetors. The clearance was for the two fuel pumps. I think it was also used with the 901/05 engine with Weber carburetors and possibly the very early 901/02 911S and 901/06 911 engines until the parts were used up. The chain cover still had the casting (not machined) for the fuel pumps.

Best,
Grady

Thank you.

Kevin, when are you bringing your Corvair out of hiding?

I haven't had time for my own toys. It seems I'm either working my a** off to pay the bills or workin my a** off to get the work done.
I need a machinist to cut an adapter for the V8 to corvair trans not much else needed for that one. The turbo just needs the motor re-installed. I need about another 6 hours in the day then I'd be set.
