It looks similar to the Carter high volumn fuel pump I currently have on one of my 440's. The only markings on the pump are the numbers 869 and "Made in Canada". I'm hoping to use this pump on a warmed over aluminum headed 440 sixpack engine I'm getting ready to install in the wife's Challenger. Anyone know if this is a high volumn pump? Thanks. 4932988-fuelpump.jpg (60 downloads)

I'm planning on running the fuel lines similar to my other 440 Sixpack Challenger. The out fuel line from the pump to a regulator then to a fuel pressure guage before the carbs. I just hope this is a HP fuel pump. 4933018-sixpackcleaner2.JPG (36 downloads)

They were supposed to have a block off plate and nothing else. Cummins Reman (Toronto Canada) in their infinite wisdom (???) sourced fuel pumps from God knows where, and most of them put out something ridiculous like 15psi. Hope you have a regulator. I'm glad those days are over, MP's new contractor Gary Stanton builds the 426 and 472 the way they should have been built all along. So basically the pump is mystery meat...

Where exactly should I look on the pump for grinding for clearance? Thanks.
