I suggest that you visit the largest car junk yard in your area. You may
be able to find it in the yellow pages. They many have a wrecked 81 honda
accord and you could get the carb off of it for a low price. Make sure the
81 honda has the same type of transmission that you have in your car. If
they don't have one in stock, they may be able to get you one from another
junk dealer that has one. Most of the larger junk yards are now on their
own computer network and can get parts for just about any car from dealers
throughout America. Some dealers even offer free guarantees.
