Product Details

PN8047 is a mechanical fuel pump built for gasoline delivery in older vehicle fuel systems that use a cam-driven pump design. The threaded inlet measures 0.375 in outside diameter, and the threaded outlet uses a 5/8" - 18 fitting for secure connection. This part cross-references Carter M4704 for the same application. It also cross-references Spectra Premium SP1056MP for the same application. For buyers searching for a mechanical fuel pump for older GM truck and classic car fuel systems, Sparta PN8047 provides a direct replacement option with the specifications needed for consistent fuel supply.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores fuel delivery when the original mechanical pump is worn
• Addresses hard-start or no-start conditions caused by low fuel pressure
• Replaces leaking pump housings or failed seals
• Corrects fuel starvation under normal engine operation
• Supports maintenance on higher-mileage classic and older-model vehicles

Installation Notes

Confirm inlet and outlet thread sizes before installation, and verify the pump orientation matches the engine’s mechanical fuel pump mounting location. Use the included gaskets during installation and inspect fuel lines for wear, contamination, or thread damage before tightening connections. For fitment-based searches, this part is commonly sought for older GM truck and classic car fuel pump replacement applications; verify the vehicle’s original pump style and connection type before ordering.
