Review on Carter M6588 Mechanical Fuel Pump by Derek Wagner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Will not fit 351 Cleveland

Will not fit 351C but very well made and quality part. I sent these back and got the correct Carter pump for the 351C instead. Revane said it was the right pump, but they were wrong. It's tricky to get to and you have to remove the power steering pump to get to the top bolt, but it fits perfectly. I suggest sealing this pump to the block with ultra black RTV silicone instead of the included gaskets to ensure you don't have any leaks. I also lubricated the pump lever prior to installation to ensure it ran smoothly.

Pros
  • Ideal for vehicles with low pump pressures of 4 to 6psi
Cons
  • High price
