Genuine 6490 Fuel Pump (Vintage Rebuilt)
Restore the fuel delivery system of your classic 1962 Ford or Mercury to factory performance 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, 6490, is a precision fitment for the 1962 model year. According to vintage manufacturer data, it is the designated fuel pump for Ford passenger cars and Mercury Monterey models equipped with the 223 cubic inch 6-cylinder engine. This unit serves as the primary replacement for original equipment part number 565 6490 and interchanges with Carter model M3368S. It is engineered to meet the specific operating requirements of Ford's final-generation "Mileage Maker" six-cylinder powerplants.
