I have a Carter, not a Holley?

I would. The gaskets and guts should be similar enough to work on yours. Usually they throw the different variations of gaskets in the kit, so "one kit fits all" of that series/family...

Just use the gaskets and parts that you need and save the rest for a "rainy day"....

Your probably right. It is more than likely the original.
I am going to order a float too, he had a number for one.
I hope that comes with the accelerator pump etc..And it all fits.
This kinda sucks. Maybe I should just take the time now, and slam a 2 barrel on it....:)
