Application Details

Built for 1969-1971 Chrysler 300, Imperial, New Yorker, Newport, and Town & Country models, plus 1970-1971 Dodge Challenger, 1969-1971 Dodge Charger, 1969-1971 Dodge Monaco, and 1969 Dodge Dart. The Carter M4589 supports classic engine bay fuel delivery where a mechanical pump is specified, and it cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps 4589 and Delphi MF0060 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Hard starting caused by weak fuel delivery
• Fuel starvation under normal carbureted operation
• Low fuel pressure at the carburetor
• Inconsistent pump output from a worn mechanical unit
• Fuel system service needs on original-style classic Mopar applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet tube routing before installation, and confirm the 5/16 in. outlet connection matches the vehicle’s fuel line. Replace the gasket or seal during service, inspect the mounting surface for wear or damage, and confirm the pump is being used on a mechanical fuel system with the correct pressure requirements.

Quality Assurance

Carter Fuel Systems focuses on OE fit, form, and function with broad vehicle coverage and problem-solving design features. The M4589 is built to meet the needs of classic Chrysler and Dodge fuel system service where accurate mechanical pump performance matters.
