Well, if you read the description and still feel comfortable sending them money for a "new" chinese made carb, let us know how it turns out.
Myself, too many issues to be comfortable taking a chance sight unseen.

china ? china. Doesn't even actually say Carter in the listing does it? "Alloy carb type" is a nice touch though. Personally I wouldn't bother with one, rebuilding a genuine one would be the route I would take.

Thanks for responding...I think deep inside I knew it wasn't a great idea, but had to ask. I'm going with the rebuild tomorrow. Thanks again!

Only thing I could think of was an oil bath air cleaner, but even then the oil never got to the carb.

If you still have the OE carb that your eng came with I would highly suggest you kitting it. its perfectly matched to your eng. easy carb to rebuild. note where the (2) mini square "pads" are clocked on the horizontle shaft & return em to that position (might be "wear" patterns so you can easily discern that). set the float down in the bowl then install the needle/seat assy to a reasonably snug torque then adj the float level since torquing the needle/seat assy move it inward into the bowl further & alters float level so take care of that (needle/seat torque) first. EDIT not "wear" patterns but are witness patterns just from the bolt together contact of those 2 pads to the shaft. MORE EDIT (as posted later they can be hard to get out) leave the jets in there if you soak it, the soup can still get in there thru the jet orifices

Thanks for all the replies. I don't have the original carburetor. I ended up ordering a rebuild from Rockauto.com. It was only $111, far less then everyone else. I hope to have my car back on the road this time next week. Thanks again, Brian
