Detailed Description

Carter M6736 is a mechanical fuel pump for classic Jeep fuel systems that require a direct-mounted, engine-driven pump. It is listed for 1976-1981 Jeep CJ5, 1976-1981 Jeep CJ7, 1976-1983 Jeep Cherokee, 1976-1983 Jeep Wagoneer, 1976-1988 Jeep J10, 1976-1988 Jeep J20, and 1984-1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This part number, M6736, is built around the original-style mechanical layout and uses a hose inlet with a threaded outlet to match the factory-style fuel line arrangement on many carbureted Jeep models.

Carter’s fuel system program emphasizes OE-style dimensions and vehicle coverage, making this pump a practical choice for restoring consistent fuel delivery on Jeep CJ5, CJ7, Wagoneer, Cherokee, J10, J20, and Grand Wagoneer applications. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps 6736 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by weak fuel delivery
• Fuel starvation during acceleration or load changes
• Low fuel pressure in carbureted Jeep systems
• Inconsistent idle from an aging mechanical pump
• Fuel delivery issues related to worn pump diaphragms or valves

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet orientation before installation. The pump uses a hose-style inlet and a threaded outlet with 1/2-20 UNF thread size, so matching the fuel line and fitting style is important. A gasket or seal is included; mounting hardware is not included. Confirm the engine mounting surface is clean and flat before installing the pump on compatible Jeep CJ5, CJ7, Cherokee, Wagoneer, J10, J20, or Grand Wagoneer applications.

Quality Assurance

Carter Fuel Systems focuses on premium OE fit, form, and function with broad vehicle coverage and problem-solving design features. The M6736 follows that approach for mechanical fuel pump replacement on select Jeep applications.
