What is the assembly line type fuel pump for a mid-May 65 San Jose A code, 4 speed car ? This pump, origins unknown, has been on the car for ages and I use an external, in line, filter for it. Should I have the canister type fuel pump ? Carb is C5ZF-C C5EA. Thanks Brian

Mid may 65 V8 fuelpump would be the Canister type,button top,typically CAR bure TER marked unit,and with a 5/16 fuel inlet. The one in your picture is a generic auto parts store replacement.

The fuelpump is appropriate . The date code is not ideal for a mid 65 built car.

OK thanks again Bob. I think this is the 3rd block in this car. So I need to remember that date correct original parts are not a real priority. When possible I like to recover the assembly line parts. This car has always been a driver so many of the accessory items were auto parts store replacements. Brian

For later when the ebay link is long gone ;)

NOTE: Bob nudged me and reminded me that I had posted an earlier version so its corrected now :)

I think the right looking pump is the most important aspect on all but a Thoroughbred class show car. The date code is secondary IMO.

+1 to that theory.

and dates are only relevant to throughbred and unrestored class if im not mistaken in MCA classes
too many people get hung up on correct dates on parts now a days. I understand wanting to be correct and all but there are many other things I will look at on a mustang before I even consider dates/months/years

I assume this is a replacement carter? Can’t read the date code on it. Plan on having Fred rebuild it for my blue fastback.

I would hold out and try to find a CAR bure TER marked one if I were you. They are out there just as the ebay auction demonstrates. I would not waste money on a generic Carter version, but that is just me.

I will be sending a few pumps to Fred as well. He will want to put the right fuel pump on your car. I too have a late 67'-68' CARTER button top pump with a July 67' date but it is not correct for my 11/66 built 67. He thinks I should search out the correct CARBureTOR stamped pump even if the date is off. So, I am again on the hunt and will likely sell out my late 67'-68 small block core.
Also, if your first pic is your engine, it has a later timing cover, one of a 302. Not sure if it matters to you or not but it is easily identified, just like the fuel pump.
