Just to comment on one small aspect of your post, rebuild kits for the OEM Carter pump have been reasonably hard to find for quite some years now. The better rebuilders like Gould rebuild them but use service parts they have made for their own internal use and not otherwise offered to the public in kit form. When I bought my 56 it has the AC pump which I swapped with Gould for the Carter. The AC pump was a bit dissimilar in external appearance and positioning of the outlet fitting, such that a new steel line would have been needed but the arm positioning was the same or nearly so. I ran it for some time before deciding, for reasons of authenticity, to go with an OEM-type Carter.
