So I looked at Rock Auto and they offer a Carter for $20...has anybody used a Carter replacement ?

If your current fuel pump is still available, try a rebuild kit from Then and Now Automotive.IMO that's a better option than using an offshore produced pump that may or may not fit right and may not even work. To get the right kit, look for the number stamped in your fuel pump and then search for that on their site. Search string "[number] site:then-now-auto.com

I recently went through a fuel pump fiasco wherein two Carquest fuel pumps proved to be useless junk - one of them right out of the box wouldn't pump a single drop. I sent my original glass bowl style fuel pump to Then & Now Automotive and it works perfectly. I elected to have T&N rebuild the pump for me because it was extremely reasonably priced. $52+ shipping for the kit if I did it myself. $115 for them to do it. $63 for seemed like a real deal to have them do it for me. They have the tools and jigs to remove the pin from the arm, etc. You can read about the entire debacle here: https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...umps-and-other-nonsense.html#Post1463250

With mine being a V8 283 I knew I would have a world of options but for now I just needed something that would get it running. Bought the lowest priced simple pump from one of the national retail chain auto parts, that pump is still working, no leaks, starts and runs as it should with 5-6 years of use and regular pump gas with ethanol. I would like to rebuild the original AC pump but have not had a need so far.
