Just curious as to what have you heard about the "recent issues with Carter"? I ask because I used to have great luck with Carter pumps "back in the day". Now I have 2 of them sitting on the bench that are a little over a year old each and both drop pressure off to next to nothing after the engine warms up. I can't find rebuild kits either so their worth about .50 for scrap aluminum IMO. A used pump given to me by a friend solved the fuel pressure issue so they are apparently bad.
