I finally installed my Carter fuel pump yesterday and went racing at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton last night. The Beetle ran 3/10th's of a second faster, as I was able to get some 13.1 and 13.0 ET's. I still have the stock fuel lines for now...one change at a time.
Jordan: thank you for the photographs...I ended up copying your setup for the most part, except I put the fuel filter inside the brake line bracket, but used the same U-turn fuel line.
Because I was short on time, I just wired the power to fuse #2 for now (10-fuse '68 fusebox), but would like to add a relay to stop the pump in the event of an accident. I have one of these relays...it has a slightly different part number to the one shown above, it says: 3.300.100. Here's a couple of photos:
It's a Kaehler part which I believe might be for a Rabbit or Audi. It's got a 15 amp fuse on top, which appears to be the only difference to the 3.300.300. Anyone use this 3.300.100 before?
thanks!!
