RE: Carter AFB replacement?

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believe it would be the pump in the Summit catalog # CRT-P4070  for 
$76.  I had gone to NAPA and inquired and they came up with a Carter 
number for me which was probably the same one. I did the race Holley 
pump 'cause I got it complete with regulator for $50 and only used for a 
dyno pull. It's a tad noisy but I like the sound :-)

This Carter is the right pressure at 6psi and is one I will use if mine 
takes a dump.
