Review on Carter M6588 Mechanical Fuel Pump by Rudy Santos

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The fuel pump manufacturer had a good reputation for the product they sold

The pump housing itself was smaller than the pump I removed (which was over 35 years old) . The only issue, not a criticism, was that the padding that came with it was really paper thin. So I worked diligently on the gasket mold gasket. I installed the pump, started the engine, started the car, the fuel supply to the carburetor was fine, now I hope there is no oil leakage. The price was right, and as the title said, because I recognized the manufacturer, I bought it.

Pros
  • Inline pumps are driven by a camshaft that efficiently pumps fuel from the tank to the carburetor
Cons
  • Upgradeable
