Magnum injector to carb swap, fuel pump question

Hi, I've got an engine Magnum from Jeep Cherokee, 1998 (5,9L), and it was injector engine, now I'm building the carb engine (bought everything) and just realized that my Carter Mechanical Fuel Pumps M60514 will not work as the camshaft has no "pusher" for the mechanical pump. What options do I have? to forget about it and to swap to electrical pump or there any "adapter" or option to use my setup?

thanks in advance!

I did a Magnum swap and dressed it as an LA but with an electric pump and besides my Carter electric rotary kicking the bucket I have not had any issues with electric.
The electric also lets you use a fully recirculating fuel system which can be a big benefit in hot climates.
Also, instead of a regulator I used an orifice in the return with size determined with a pressure gauge.
Any pressure above what the carb can use is returned to the tank.


Do you want to keep the serpentine belt system? I believe, if you do, you have to go electric. The La style timing cover will not work with the serpentine drive.
On a 87 dakota I have, I just use the carter rotary pump. (4070 I think) But pressure is low, and does not require a pressure regulator.
Also, for safety, you can use a pressure switch, which is what they recommend. https://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/crt-74773m.pdf

Good info, and as you mention that rotary does not need a regulator as they are a high volume low pressure pump.
A bit noisy though.:D
