73S mfi pump

[turbo993]

How difficult is it to find a 73s mechanical fuel injection pump ? Price for a good working pump vs. one in need of rebuild. I have just purchased a very nice 73s that has been in storage for many years. MFI was removed and stored , but pump has come up missing.

Thanks...

They come up occasionally. The places to look are here, Early S Registry, and Ebay. There is also something called The Samba that lists used Porsche parts but I don't know that one as well.

You should check with Gus at Pacific Fuel Injection or there's a guy up in Oregon whose name escapes me that are the MFI experts. They may have sources or at least can tell you which versions are rebuildable to your 73S spec. You may have an easier time starting with something else and putting in a new space cam or whatever it requires to make it work to S specs. Definitely put a WTB on Early S Registry as well.

There's an RS pump on Ebay that keeps going up for auction and the guy wants $4,500. So that's the top end. I've seen TES pumps in the $1000 range. Not sure if they are rebuilt or not. Of course buyer beware on the claim of "rebuilt" anyway unless they can produce a recent receipt.

The gentleman in Oregon is Mark Jung and his screenname here is either 356RS or RS356
if he doesnt have one ,he most certainly can direct you to someone that does...Bert

The 2.4 T pumps "-015" are rebuildable to S (and RS) specs.

Yes, this is a good way to get the performance without paying as high a price. That little tag that indicates an S pump adds nicely to the price. -- Matt
