There are tons of carbs on Ebay. I bought one last year for my 84 Chevy
Celebrity, it was a feedback carb and the numbers matched exactly, which
was amazing considering the number of variations of that carb that GM used.
While it was a New Old Stock carb I only needed the selonoid from it,
and the carb is still on my shelf in case I ever need it.

If I were you I would find a local carb rebuilder and see if he could drill
the passage you need in your existing carb.
