I can't locate a service kit for this pump. I just started up the 454 in the BBC swap into the 76 and I see 112 octane fuel running all over the garage floor. Grrrr... Then to add insult it looks like there is no service parts available. WTF???

Anyone know of any leads?

Okay, I'm gonna submit and buy a new one. Ugh!!! Why make them so they can be dissasembled and then not offer parts???

I know this is an old thread, but I found it because my Carter 4889 mechanical fuel pump needed a rebuild. For whatever reason, there is nothing around as a rebuild kit for this specific pump, but Carter apparently used the same pump body, valve configuration, diaphragms, etc. for Ford mechanical fuel pumps in their BOSS 302 & 428/429 BOSS and CobraJet engines from 1967 & up. These pumps have screw together bodies like the 4889.

I purchased a rebuild kit from AMK for $38 listed as a Ford mechanical fuel pump rebuild kit and rebuilt my 4889 pump this weekend. Everything was exactly the same and fit together great. I think the pump levers were different between the Fords and Chevrolet’s but otherwise the same pump.

Just wanted to put it out there and hopefully help others.
