The CEO of Carter vowed to sell a million replacement carbs for Chevy- - - - -and they did! Several years later, the 1-millionth Chevy replacement carb came off the assembly line- - - -got gold plated- - - - -and was presented to the CEO of General Motors! Now, that's payback- - - - -in spades! LOL! Jerry
