Genuine 4896 Fuel Pump (Vintage Rebuilt)
Restore the fuel delivery system of your classic early-60s Ford or Mercury to factory standards with this professionally rebuilt mechanical fuel pump. Proudly Made in the USA, this genuine vintage unit is a period-correct component essential for high-quality restorations. By utilizing high-quality original castings, this rebuilt pump maintains the authentic look and rugged durability that modern mass-market replacements often fail to provide, ensuring your inline-6 engine receives steady, reliable fuel pressure.
This specific model, 4896, is a precision fitment for 1961–1962 applications. According to vintage manufacturer data, it is the designated fuel pump for Ford Falcon, Mercury Comet, and Ford Econoline models equipped with the 144 and 170 cubic inch engines. This unit is specifically engineered for vehicles with vacuum-operated windshield wipers, featuring the dual-diaphragm configuration necessary to provide consistent wiper performance under load. This unit serves as the primary replacement for original equipment part number 559 4896 and interchanges with Carter model M3146S.
