289 fuel pump

[bulletpruf]

I have two AC 46021 pumps. These are the Made in the USA pumps, but not original Carters.

Does anyone know of a rebuild kit for them? Does the Carter kit that Then and Now sells work?

Thanks,

Scott

You have one OEM pump and one aftermarket one. I believe the originals from Ford are the 8 screw versions.

I don't know about the rebuild kit being available for purchase, but there are rebuilders out there that offer the service. Perhaps they'd sell a kit.

a place called then and now sells rebuild kits, I bought one for my 289 pump for my 68. I don't remember which one i bought but if u call they'll help you out!

Bad news! The Carter OEM pump kits from Then and Now will NOT work for the aftermarket AC pump.

GOOD NEWS!!! Then and Now makes a kit for the 46021 aftermarket AC pump! There are two different versions, so you just need to call them and tell them which one you have so you can order the correct kit. FYI - I don't think the kit is on their website, so you can't order without calling.

Then and Now has a YouTube channel with a few videos that aren't of the exact pump, but should be close:
