I've found plenty still out there and pretty good stuff on eBay.
I just recently got a RT Holley 94 top fairly reasonably so I could
machine off the air cleaner flange for a G&C assembly, rather
than modding my original part.
My accelerator pump also needed work when I got the truck. Person
I got it from was telling me "it just needs to warm up." Turned out
that the spreaders and nozzles were clogged with crap and weren't
even close to sealed to the carb body correctly anyway.
