This part cross-references Carter M3553 for the same application. It is a direct-fit fuel delivery component for 1955-1964 Ford F-100, 1955-1964 Ford F-250, 1955-1964 Ford F-350, and 1961 Mercury Colony Park applications. The threaded inlet and outlet, aluminum housing, and standard replacement design support reliable fuel transfer in classic carbureted systems. Sparta PN8045 is a practical choice when replacing a worn mechanical fuel pump on Ford F-100, Ford F-250, Ford F-350, or Mercury Colony Park vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Problems This Part Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard starting caused by weak fuel delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel starvation during acceleration or load changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow fuel pressure in carbureted systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel leaks from an aging pump body or seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveability issues tied to inconsistent mechanical pumping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the vehicle uses a mechanical fuel pump and confirm threaded inlet and outlet connections before installation.
