Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

It has been a while since I have been on the forum. I however need some help in trying to figure out if this is the correct fuel pump or not for my packard. Any thoughts would be great thanks.
the number on the fuel pump is : 9589

What year/model is the car? What engine?

1953 caviler touring sedan. 327

It's not the same as mine, here are a couple Couple of pics of the fuel pump on my 53 Cavalier.

thanks would you happen to have a refernce number?

Pump 9589 is for 1949-54 Oldsmobile 8 cylinder models and will not fit your Packard

I can't reference the number but I can tell by looking at it that the arm is totally different and far longer than that on a 1953. The pump itself might work but not the arm!

Parts book says our fuel pump is either an "AC 1539606" or "AC 1539920." I don't see a number on mine, only "AC", and I'm not sure what the difference is between the two.

The length of the arm would indicate it could have been used on a V8 and with the vacuum section, if you know it came from a Packard engine the pump might have been used on a Nash or Hudson model when AMC was using the 320 Packard engine. It could have also been something used by an owner who did the Olds or PI oil pump mod and lost the aux vacuum pump functionality. The arm on the Carter pump Packard used was straight but I did use a bent arm aftermarket pump for a while and it did work.

The pump for your car has an arm something like this.
