Product Details

Features

  • Mechanical fuel pump for Chrysler Small Block "A" Polysphere and "LA" V8 engines
  • 80 GPH flow, 6 PSI pressure — no electric pump or wiring required
  • Fits 273–360 CID "LA" engines and 318 CID "A" Polysphere engines
  • Will not fit "Magnum" engines — a distinct, later Mopar V8 family

Description

Built for carbureted Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth Small Block V8 applications, this mechanical fuel pump supports dependable fuel delivery with a clean, chrome-finished engine bay appearance. Its 80 GPH flow rating and 6 PSI operating pressure make it a practical replacement or upgrade for engines using the correct mechanical pump mounting pattern.

As a mechanical pump, it draws its pumping action directly from the engine's camshaft — no electric pump, wiring, or power source is needed. This pump fits Chrysler's Small Block "A" Polysphere V8 (318 CID) and the "LA" V8 family (273, 318, 340, and 360 CID). It will not fit "Magnum" engines — a distinct, later Mopar V8 family with a different mechanical pump mounting pattern.

This pump is designed for carbureted fuel systems and is not intended for EFI applications unless used with a properly designed and regulated fuel system conversion.


Applications
Fits Chrysler Small Block "A" Polysphere (318 CID) and "LA" (273, 318, 340, 360 CID) V8 engines, commonly found in Dodge Dart, Charger, Challenger, and Plymouth Barracuda and Duster applications.

Installation
Verify mounting pattern, pump arm style, inlet/outlet orientation, and pressure requirements before installation. Mounting hardware is not included. A downloadable installation instruction sheet is available for this pump.

Q&A

Will this fit a Magnum engine?
No. Although both are Mopar V8 engine families, Magnum engines use a different mechanical fuel pump mounting pattern than the earlier "A" Polysphere and "LA" small block engines. This fuel pump is not compatible with Magnum applications.

Is this an electric or mechanical fuel pump?
This is a mechanical fuel pump that is driven directly by the engine's camshaft. It requires no electrical wiring or external power source.

What engines is this pump compatible with?
This fuel pump is designed for Chrysler Small Block "A" Polysphere 318 CID V8 engines and "LA" Small Block V8 engines, including the 273, 318, 340, and 360 CID.

What vehicles is this pump commonly used in?
This fuel pump fits a variety of Dodge and Plymouth applications equipped with compatible small block engines, including the Dodge Dart, Charger, Challenger, and the Plymouth Barracuda and Duster.

Is this pump for carbureted or EFI systems?
This pump is designed for carbureted fuel systems. It is not intended for EFI applications unless used as part of a properly engineered and regulated fuel system conversion.

What's the flow rate and pressure rating?
This mechanical fuel pump is rated to deliver 80 GPH (gallons per hour) with a maximum fuel pressure of 6 PSI.

Does this include mounting hardware?
No. Mounting hardware is not included and must be purchased separately.

Does this include a gasket?
Yes. A mounting gasket is included for installation.
