Dad used to tell a story about that Carter replacement carb. Since he was a Carter dealer, and I've never known him to lie about anything, I believe it. When GM stopped equipping all their Chevy engines with Carter carbs and started using Rochesters as original equipment, The CEO of Carter vowed to sell a million replacement carbs. It took a few years, but when the one millionth Chevy carb came off the assembly line, Carter had it gold plated and presented it to the CEO of GM!
