Who is building the Carters now? I thought they were still available.


A 9626 was the 625cfm Mopar model.

From an earlier post above, pretty much nailed it. Edelbrock is using a few of the old Carter AVS designs but many of the original configurations (AFB etc.) are long gone.

To clarify something about the various makers of the carbs, Carter went out of business. Edelbrock bought the RIGHTS and probably the patterns to make the carb with their name on it, their carb is built by Weber.
Federal-Mogul got I believe the whole Carter empire and made the AFBs for a few years, then quit production. So it was F-M that killed the Carter AFB.

In the last few years I guess Federal Mogul quit building the. I remember seeing them in a Summit catalogue within 2 -3 years ago. Just checked Summit they aren't listed anymore.

They still sell the fuel pumps and Zip kits.

Will this adaptor work with on a 4sp car?




I don't think you'll need it with a manual transmission since there isn't any kickdown linkage.

Without it the throttle cable will be at an odd angle , the bracket is about 10 bucks , just get it .
