Product Description
Genuine 6838 Fuel Pump (Vintage Rebuilt)
Restore the fuel delivery system of your classic high-performance 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 vintage V8 receives steady, reliable fuel pressure.
This specific model, 6838, is a versatile performance fitment for 1963–1965 applications. According to vintage manufacturer data, it is the designated fuel pump for Ford Falcon, Fairlane, Galaxie, and early Mustang models equipped with 260 and 289 cubic inch V8 engines. It also serves as the verified fitment for the heavy-duty 427 CID powerplants of that era and Interceptor Marine models 120 and 140. This unit serves as the primary replacement for original equipment part number 565 6838 and interchanges with Carter models including M3568S, M3623S, and M3628S.
