What is a good fuel pump that you would recommend. Is carter a good fuel pump.?

Tracy Focht · 04-22-2003, 05:39 PM

Yes...Carter makes great fuel pumps. Ought to work fine!

bigblock73 · 04-22-2003, 06:53 PM

Ditto on Carter, very good pumps and they are adjustable to fit just about any kind of fuel line routing.

79BIG10 · 04-23-2003, 04:18 AM

Well i gave them a call and thats the quote i got on a new carter fuel pump i didnt have a chance to get down there to pick it up yet. but i will be sure to let you know when i do get it.

bigblock73 · 04-23-2003, 07:43 AM

That sounds extremely cheap...my mech Carter pump was like $40 from Summit. I am not sure what kind of Carter pump it is, but just remember you get what you pay for and $12 seems waaay to cheap for a pretty important part such as a fuel pump.

79BIG10 · 04-23-2003, 01:08 PM

I agree that's why I'm wanting the part number before buying. If it's the same part number as Summit's and brand new then I'm jumping on it.

**old Rusty C10** · 04-23-2003, 02:42 PM

carter is like the best fuel pump IMHO i would be careful with that price it aint rebuilt cause i get em for closer to forty bucks too and id never put a rebuilt fuel pump in a car therye too cheap new to go used just my two cents

MSL · 04-23-2003, 04:27 PM

Ya it does seem cheap i will get the part number since i havent had time to go down there yet its on hold for me. if it is a reman i dont want it but i will let you know either way.

thanks for the heads up.

MSL · 04-23-2003, 06:49 PM

Ok found out that a reman is 10.99 and the new fuel pump is 14.99 and the part number for it is carter 6624.

79BIG10 · 04-24-2003, 05:52 AM

Sounds like a knock off. Ask them for Carter's part number M6900 This is their own number for a SBC.

MSL · 04-24-2003, 05:59 AM

Ok i will ask them and see what i get. i hope its not a knock off i need a new fuel pump this payday.

79BIG10 · 04-24-2003, 06:10 AM

I'm sure the new fuel pump will work fine. Don't get a rebuilt one though. They're more prone to failure. I just need something to replace mine since I've got the return line blocked off I want to get rid of that.

MSL · 04-25-2003, 07:40 PM

Well my fuel pump will be in tommorrow it is a genuine carter part#M6624. Brandnew not rebuilt is what im told can anyone check that part number out and let me know.

Hey 79BIG10,
You say you have the third line blocked......Have you had any problems with vapor lock since you did it?
I have a problem with it esp. around were you live and down around Houston. That third line just ain't helping me at all.
Good advice on the rebuilt pump too. I don't know why they even offer rebuilt pumps...they fail real quick.

Not at all. Then again it hasn't got too hot yet since I've done it here either. This summer will be the test.

Okay I ran the number and found out why it's so cheap. It's a STOCK fuel pump rather than a STREET which is why I was thinking that it was very cheap on price. For the price that is a good new pump compared to the other crap some stores sell. Thanks for getting me the model number. I'm wanting a street one to get better flow rating.

Mike76251 · 04-26-2003, 08:10 AM

Thanks for the reply 79BIG10,
I will hold off losing that third line for now.
I need a Moroso Cool Can I guess.
That or quit towing 8000 lbs !!

I also put a new oil filter and oil in i have to check it tommorow and see if that was where i was getting the gas smell. i would have to say it was part of it.
