Re: Carter AFBs - who sells them??



You may want to find what vehicle came with one originally and see if the
autoparts store can sell you a re-man unit. When I worked at the parts store
there were a looooot of things that we could order that most people wouldn't
think. Although it required 'book work' to look them up in the paper
catalogs, but they were there.
I know that looking stuff up in a paper catalog,manually is a hard concept
for most of the counter jockeys to grasp but if you find one of the old
schoolers that is the ONLY way that they will look up what you need.
