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...

I've been using a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch behind my 500hp BB. Very good clutch and pedal effort is not too heavy. I've had the same clutch for over 10 years.

Just checked the 68 Chevrolet Service Manual and it says to remove from inside the car as I described. I can't speak for a 72, but I doubt it would be much different.

I hear you. The spindle support is cast, so you're right to be concerned. What kind of hammer are you using? How heavy is it? Hit it as hard as you feel comfortable, then try heat.

The part number is 339173. If anyone has a reference for it, it should be fairly easy to get a description of the part. Unfortunately, I don't have that sort of reference book.
