Where do you get a 7lb Carter fuel pump

I have a '79 (12A) with a Weber 45DCOE and a crappy Facet fuel pump on it. I want to upgrade the pump. From searching on the forums (and elsewhere) it sounds like the "7lb Carter" is the best. But where can I get one of these?

I have had a devil of a time finding a Carter pump (that's not listed as an OEM replacement) anywhere but Summit. And they have a 6 or 8 lb, both rated at 72 GPH. Is one of these "right", or am I not looking in the right place?

I'm not trying to spark another fuel pump debate, as I know this has been debated many times on here, I'm just trying to find something that'll feed the Weber effectively. I already have an FPR installed BTW - it's just useless because of the crappy pump I'm using.

Thanks in advance,
Travis

summit is the place to go. Either of those will work, I'd probably go with the 8psi one. Oh and make sure you dont order one that runs 6v instead of 12v. I know they have at least one for sale on Summit.

I haven't read the whole thread, but I believe summit has it.

Trash can from anyone who's gone with the better idea, a Mallory Comp70 or Comp110...

Carter is very nice if it's mounted in a way so as to prevent noise tansfer into the vehicle. If you don't take that step, you're going to hate it.

STOCK Nikki could be anywhere from 2.5 to 4.5 psi, but only being on a dyno and testing will give you an easy answer what your Nikki likes...since he's got a Weber, it's a moot point...
