'74 Fuel pump NLA?

[fintstone]

It appears that the fuel pump for '74 911 are no longer available. Anyone have any solutions?

Check on rebuilt fuel pumps . Purchased one last year for 1976 2.7 CIS/ turns out new one makes noise also . I still have the one I removed

I have one from a 73.5T I parted our recently. Not 100% on it as the car sat, but worth checking. I can send it to Joe if you like.

ANOTHER NLA part? Jesus, this is getting ridiculous.

Nothing even from Bosch?

Thanks Shaun...but I want to track down a new one.

Anyone tried a later pump? I have a 3.0 in there anyways. Any idea where I could find the spec on the different pumps (pressure, etc)?

Anyone tried the "universal replacement" offered by our host? I think I found the correct one elsewhere...but at about twice the price of a later (SC) pump.

Just bought one for my 78SC (3.0L).
Bosch 69513 (0580254984) MAde in Germany.
$200.00

Unfortunately that is not the same as the one in a '74.

I bought a rebuilt one myself. Have had no trouble with it.

Yes, I found the one at Zims...assuming they actually have them. Seems like $700 for a fuel pump is sorta steep. I guess the rebuilt one may be the way to go.

The other two are not correct.

I did find a part number on the Bosch website that I have found a source for at $286 new...but they show it out of stock and they would have to order it. I will likely try that if I don't find a better way. It is BOSCH Part # 69459. Maybe someone at Pelican can do some research on getting the Bosch part...as I would rather send Wayne my money.

[boxster03]

rebuilt is a waste of money . source a new one try Stoddards

good luck.

This is why I posted.
Do you need a pump for a 74 or for a 3.0L?
I know the pumps are located in different locations but I thought you would require a different pump for a 3.0L.
Good luck with your search.

the pumps on my 74 and 82 looked identical, so i swapped them and it worked fine

Both. I have a '74 with a 3.0 engine and a '74 pump. The stock '74 pump will run a 3.0 without problem (even a hopped-up one like mine) and has for the last 5 years. If the later pumps have more pressure/delivery; this would be the time to upgrade if not to onerous a process. The later pumps are much less expensive, but I would probably want to put it in the same location if possible.

Good info. Were the connections similar? Did you mount it in the same place?

I bought a CIS fuel pump for my '74 about 18 months ago and put less than 100 miles on it before switching to carbs and a different fuel pump. Let me know if you're interested in a "like new" CIS fuel pump for a '74 (real, real cheap to you).

[fintstone]

Art
Yes I remeber Helga's CIS woes bfore the "implants." I wll send you a PM.

[JP911]

The location is the problem on the 74 for 2 reasons: 1. The heat of the engine may shorten the service life of the pump, and 2. the later pumps were designed to fit behind the fuel tank on the transmission cross bar and the connections are different than the 74 pump, making it difficult to place a later pump in the stock location. It's not that difficult to move the pump on the 74 to the front of the car. You will need to find a way to splice together the fuel lines where the pump was originally located, and then splice in the pump at the tank. Just make sure that if you do this you get all of the fittings for the later pump.

Good advice. Thanks!
