Topic: 65 Fuel pump

[Brian Conway]

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.

[Brian Conway]

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.

[outlawincorporated]

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.
