Which stated you had a dutch market carbureted automatic 2.0 liter with mechanical fuel pump. Maybe that explains why you didn't get any responses from your Jan 8th question regarding a runnability problem with your 73.
Since this bulletin board is probably 99% US or Canadian specced 99's, the number of carbureted 99's remaining over here could probably be counted on two hands...pre 1974 that is. According to the volumes of info I have, we received no carbureted 99's after 1974 as they all went to k-jetronic. Same goes for the C-900's....all injected engines for the US market(maybe a few carbed 900's made this country, but I have no info.)
My best suggestion would be for you to research your market, as I don't think most who post on this board have any information on carbureted specced 99's or C-900's after 1974. You'll need to find out if fuel tanks are available over there for carbed engines, since all of our tanks after 1975 have holes in the top of them for electric fuel pumps. I wouldn't think you could use one of those tanks unless you were able to blank off the hole, and find a way to get the fuel out of the tank, since ours are pumped out from the top at high pressures and volumes. Since your carbed engine only has a running pressure of around 3 psi, I highly doubt you could use an electric pump designed for our market.
I was fortunate to come across a rare carbed B201 intake manifold a few weeks ago. My thoughts were to have another way of keeping my 73 on the road if my d-jet system failed and I couldn't find parts anymore. I never thought about the need for a mechanical pump for fuel delivery. I guess this thread helped me a bit too, as I'll have to gather a few more parts to make the carbed manifold work.
I have owned probably close to 20 99's and none of them were carbed or had automatic transmissions, even though at least a dozen of them were parts cars. I've never owned a 99T either...hmm, that may be my next one if I can find a decent project car.
