How about a rebuild kit from Mancini. I have those pumps used but conditions unknown. They worked when removed but I would rebuild them. I may have one in the box new from Mopar Performance. They are very hard to find right now but the kits are available.

We are all here because we are not all there.
The problem that I have is the threads are gone from the 3/8 NPT fuel outlet.
The pump was functioning fine.
Yep all are on back order.
I would be interested in your new pump if you would like to sell it.
The application is a 1969 LA 340

You can fix the threads. Either buy an NPT helicoil or take the body to a machine shop and have them bore and press in a plug then drill and re-tap. Might even be able to epoxy closed then tap.

this is what is here. Three used pumps and one new carter but from years ago. I can sell you a used pump with a good body to fix yours.

Thanks much.
Before I spend your time and my money I am doing to take a shot at repairing the one I got.
I let you know what happens.

dano you hit the nail on the head.
I was able to run a tap deeper in the outlet and cut some new threads.
Job over I think I saved the pump we'll find out when I get the engine back in the car.
Thanks to all that responded, next time I wont panic so quickly. LOL

I used some Permitex fuel safe thread sealer too. I have anodized aluminum AN fittings and the first one galled on me so I re-tapped and added the Permitex. Glad to hear you got it fixed.

Hey Oldmanmopar, you still have that new carter M6270 fuel pump?… I’d be interested in buying it. I badly need one for my 340 and seems like everything is sitting on a ship in the ocean. I’ll send you a pm
