Carter Mechanical Fuel Pump Automotive Replacement Compatible with Ford, Mercury Models (M6588)

Good replacement for the pump on my 1970 Mustang. It was thinner than the one I was replacing (same height, just not as bulky/thick) so I checked the flow rate on it and it moves plenty of gas. Installed and I'm not noticing any difference on the performance of my 331 stroker.

Exelente

Easy install on a 351W SBF... original style quality. I would recommend.

Went from 4/5 to 15 pressure and blew by the needle valve flooding the engine. You should have faith in your fuel pump at a month and half old. Do yourself a favor don’t be like me, pass on this pump

Used on my 1968 "J" Code (302 4V) Ford Mustang Fastback.

I noticed that even the new brand name replacement pumps like this are becoming un serviceable. It works as it should, but if it breaks, you need to buy a new one as the originals have screw on inlet and outlet ports where this one is crimped on by a machine and to work on it you would need to bend the metal on the base back and that weakens the metal so you can only do it like once before you have a non sealing pump. I would call these cheap Chinese made replacements when you just need a new pump and don't have time or patience to repair the original (if there was an original on it).

I purchased this for a 1966 Mustang (289 Small Block). Although the footprint looked correct, it is likely that it would have bolted on and probably worked, I questioned the performance that this one might have. First off, and my primary concern is that this pump was all around, about half the physical size and weight of the one it was replacing. Even the pump lever was of a thinner gauge metal and of a thinner profile. One might suggest that modern materials and construction methods might make the smaller size possible, but I believe that the diaphragm size would play a huge role in the pump's capacity and fuel delivery volume per stroke. Secondly, the thickness of the housing casting, including the ears with the mounting holes, were about half as thick. Again, modern materials might make up for some of the necessary thickness or size, but I just couldn't go along with it. Because of these concerns, I did not install this pump so I can not verify it's performance or quality of operation. My rating is based solely on build and apparent quality. Who knows, maybe it functions just fine...

Does not fit the 351C but it is a very well made and quality part. I returned this one and got the correct Carter pump for the 351C instead. Amazon said this was the right pump but they were wrong. It’s a pain to get to and you have to remove the power steering pump to get to the top bolt but it was a perfect fit. I suggest using Ultra Black RTV silicone to seal this pump to the block instead of the included gaskets to make sure you don’t have any leaks. I also greased the pump arm before I installed it to make sure it ran smooth.
