My brother picked up a new in box Carter fuel pump is M835SB equivalent to AC4459 printed on the box, and I was wondering if it worked for any Studebaker applications.

There are no direct crossovers from a Stude. V-8 pump to any other make, and that Carter? number is not for a Stude. IMO.StudeRich

Check with Phil Harris at Fairborn Studebaker. If it is a 318/340/360 MoPar pump, he can bend the arm just right to make it fit a Studebaker V8, and they work well.
BTDT; I have one of Phil's MM (Modified MoPar) pumps on my 1964 Daytona sedan and it cured the vapor lock problems with which it was plagued. BP

I gave Bill Cathcart a whole case of these NOS fuel pumps and he said that he had no use for them. I mentioned their use on Studebaker V8s and he wasn't familiar with that. I guess that he is really a six cylinder guy.Originally posted by BobPalma View PostGary L.

I have used the 318 pumps on Stude Trucks with no modifications. But the lines won't hook up on a hawk because of the frame. Havn't tried it on a Lark.Neil Thornton

Somehow this turned into a conversation about Mopar fuel pumps - but the reality is that the Carter and AC numbers given cross to a International Truck 6 Cylinder engine.Comment

Well, now we know that. Earlier-on, no one knew the application of the subject pump. BP We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Regarding the Carter pump: before discarding it, check and see if it is the same size, diaphragm-wise, as the Carter pump from your Studebaker. Maybe it could be gutted, and the internal parts used to rebuild your Stude pump.Gord Richmond, within Weasel range of the Alberta BadlandsComment

Is this the High-performance Edelbrock pump or the Airtex pump? (Both Available At FLAPS)Originally posted by BobPalma View PostComment

'Looks like a "regular" Airtex pump to me. BP We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Good to know about the Mopar 318 pump being that the Stude V8 unit may soon be NS1--------------------------------------
