Do you have any private owned, small auto parts stores in your area. You know the ones that have been around for 30-40 years? Ask them if they might have a complete rebuilt carb for your car. I have a few old autoparts shops in my neck of the woods, one had a rebuilt replacement carb for my '62, it had been on his shelf for 20+ years, box was a bit dusty, but she was complete. Great thing was he only charged me what was priced on the box from 20+ years ago.
Alot of these places have old inventory, that can be very helpful, plus you will usually find these old guys know what there talking about, can help you in many ways that the BIG CHAIN stores cant, cause that 17-20 year old behind the counter, has never even heard of Falcon let alone points and condensors. He cant look up a part for you unless you know the year of your falcon, size of motor, type of tranny, did it have air, is it 4x4?
