I have no problems with with my carter w-1 but I wouldn't suggest it. There rare and hard to find kits for. A rebuilt one runs 200+ and the kits if you ever need to rebuild them run 75+. You can find though rebuild info on them though. Even though carter doesn't have a manual look in a chevy manual there you will find it. The year I have is 42,47 chevy shop manual and it gives me all I need to know.
Another note is both of my stovebolts a 41 and 49 have carter w-1. My 49 carb went south needs to be rebuilt but unfortunately college had other ideas. So I swap it for my 41. Neither carb had been used for over 15 years the 41 nearly 35 years. So they are reliable just hard to find at least in my area.
