CARTER AFB was the most dependable/reliable/easiest starting carb ive ever had on my 350's.. IMHO its worth your time tuning it to 6000 ft...

Re: Carter Carb Scrap or tune

if you have an extra few hundred bucks burning a hole in your pocket, you can buy a new one and tune it for your elevation, and give the Carter to someone who needs it...
The AFB is an awesome and very simple piece.
