Need some MFI pics to figure out what's missing

[kenikh]

So I bought a nearly complete '69S MFI from Bob Magyar on this board. I am now trying to figure out which bits I need to compelte the install. I know all of the parts on the MFI end that are missing, but now need to figure out which bits from the motor are missing or not. I looked at my car this morning and didn’t see anything on top of the fan shroud that looked like a mounting plate for the MFI pump. I assume it would have been obvious to see.

I didn’t see any mounting holes for it in the shroud, which I thought was odd. I can’t figure out from the PET picture, where it should actually mount. All I know is it should be on the driver’s side of the engine.

I was also confused because I can’t figure out where the MFI belt is supposed to mount to the cam gear. It looks like it would be fairly obvious, turning off of the driver’s side cam. I can't see anything from the top of the motor; should I be able to?

I can’t see an opening at the end of the cam housing for an opening that the belt would go through, so I am totally confused. Anyone have any pics to clear up my confusion?

Part number 22 mounts to the case, to the left of the oil breather, with part numbers 25 going through the engine shroud holes. Obviously, the pump mounts to part 25. The engine shroud should have three holes in that area, as well as another one near the fan so you can adjust the injection with a long screwdriver. It is easier to see the belt and the left cam gear / cover from under the car. The pulley on the end of the left cam actually sticks out forward of the cam cover. Many years ago, my 1970 911E sheared the cam pulley bolts (I may have had the belt too tight), and I had to crawl up under the car to drill them out. It was not fun...
But you will need to take the engine shroud off to ensure the case has the holes drilled and tapped for the studs (it probably does). Good luck - I'm heading in the same direction with my 1970... I think we have communicated before.

oops - substitute part number 24 for 25 in my writing.

Boy did I mess that up... That's what I get for writing here when at work... the pump mounts to part 22!
Whew.

Hello: Are you sure that your engine still has MFI cams? You should be able to see the hub on the cam sticking out the front of the left cam box. If you still have the sheet metal on that side remove it from under the car, to check for the hub. As for the shroud maybe the holes for the pump mount were glassed over or you have a shroud from a later engine. Does your shroud have a funnel section over to the oil cooler? If it does then it is from a later engine. The original 2.0 S shroud has no funnel and just has a black steel cover over the oil cooler. If you take the left(drivers side) heater duct plate off near the fan you can look in and see where the mount goes onto the engine below the shroud. Good luck and have fun. Thanks Eric

This is what I am trying to figure out: which parts are still there and which are not. I have no clue at this point, but am hoping all is intact. The motor was rebuilt at one point, but I can't imagine them ditching the cams. They are DEFINITELY 'S' cams from the seat of the pants experince.

I believe the shroud is original as it seems to be red fiberglass. It does not have the funnel and does indeed have the black cover over the cooler. As far as the cam gear goes, my valve covers are later turbo units. Perhaps these are covering up what I am looking for?

[roblav]

No - valve covers will not cover up the sprocket. The cover tin over the left forward bank is much different in mfi cars. You should be able to stick your head way inside the engine compartment and see the sprocket.

Here's your pump belt setup.

You laugh, but that was incredibly helpful! So the belt is fully exposed with no housing, huh? Cool.

The only thing the miniature motor didn't have was the shroud that covers the belt. Sorry I don't have any pics. I am sure someone out there does.
