Default Stupid 914 fuel filter question..

Hi all,

I've been involved with a customer's '76 914, (2.0, D-Jet) for a couple of years on and off.. Originally, I saw it at a stupidly shady body shop, and they were trying to get it running. The car sat for ten years, and due to neglect, and a terrible hack job at said body shop, it now needs absolutely everything. Among those things is a fuel filter, because they totally ripped out all of the fuel lines, and replumbed them with non-FI grade hose, and an unknown pump. The pump is super noisy, but seems to put out 30 PSI, so it stays for now. The filter is missing entirely, and I've found two possibilities.. One is a square plastic job that looks like a low PSI carb'd model, but has different sized inlet/outlet, suggesting it goes before the pump, and then the other option is a metal canister that looks like a modern Bosch FI unit.. Which should I have? Maybe both? one before, one after? Also, anybody have any really slick test rigs for fuel injectors? I've got a pretty good idea of what I want to mock up, but borrowing somebody else's better idea is always an option..

Thanks, Matt
