Sparta PN8005 Mechanical Fuel Pump

Mechanical Fuel Pump for Ford V8 Applications

The Sparta PN8005 mechanical fuel pump is a standard replacement for gasoline-powered Ford and Mercury vehicles that use a mechanical fuel delivery setup. Built with an aluminum housing and a hose-bead inlet, it is designed for higher-mileage and earlier model applications where dependable fuel pressure and consistent flow matter.

For Ford Bronco, F-150, F-250, F-350, Mustang, Thunderbird, and related Mercury models, the PN8005 provides a direct-fit service part backed by OE-focused fuel system expertise. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps (e.g., 60318, 60330) for the same application.
