Where can I get carb jets around Los Angeles? Of anywhere close? My motorcraft has #53s in it now, and according to a post by Mr. ND, I should have #56.

Maybe measure the size difference and drill it open?

I called 6 or 7 places, and only 1 would sell me jets. Ed's Carburetor in Covina. He only had 57f, so I took em for $20. A bit expensive but it's all relative, si?

Pop's still out of town I believe and won't be back for a bit.

Looks like you really need a new cinder block, however, if not an option as that's a pretty unusual piece, you could use the 60 lb type bag mortar or smaller boxed mortar to reset in the existing position. Versabond comes in bags for ceramic tile work but works well as a patch, or if trying to "glue" back the pieces, you could try this mastic below from HD.
