Carter carb question???(how old is it?)

[Dicenn]

how old is this carter carb??? My friend has got two carb kit to rebiuld it but neither one will work the accelerater pump is wrong... this carb has a leather accelerater pump on it... love woprking on shit other people through together...n 79' engine, 75' or newer intake and a carb from the stone age i'm guessing... my friend said the carb is in good shape other than it had a vacuum leak and the accelerater pump... he said it is worth rebuilding if we can find a accelerater pump for it...

Is there a number on the base? If so the parts store should beable to get the right pump.

goood news bad news... they don't make a rebiuld kit for it it is to old... but we found an accelerater pump put it is in portland it will be here tomorrow... we were using the nuber off the base for some... i guess the people at the auto part could not read the first couple of times...
