Thanks Jeff!

I've given up on real 67 HiPo pumps since I'm not doing Thoroughbred (yet) and a correct date coded pump would be thousands.

Just finding ANY CARbureTER button tops is difficult and most of the "original" NOS examples I've seen online are CARTERs and getting into the 5-600 plus territory.

I can do this one for less than half of that ...

I just procured a rebuildable 4193S button top CARbureTER 5/16 (O.D.) fuel line -- still attached -- from the local Old Car pick 'n pull and need to verify that it will work as a concours substitute for my 67 K motor. It was really, really cheap.

Is this a good candidate for my car considering Fred's cost to rebuild?
I had to use a loupe to even see the very faint numbers.

Are the 4193S CARTERs worth anything, as I got one of those too?
The one on the right marked CAR bure TER and 5 /16 nipple is the one you want. It will have the look you want once restored. The other isn't worth messing with except for parts. A 68 buyer wouldn't want it because it is 5/16 instead of the correct for 68 3/8 inlet. I don't if Fred would give you credit on it or not . If he does don't expect much.

The engineering number and date can be restamped but that's another guy, cost and process. The alteration can often leave some tell tale clues to the change depending on the job that time and how close you look
