Carburetor Help

I recently tore into my Motorcraft 2150 carburetor off my 78 F150 due to rough idle. After cleaning it and looking at some diagrams I noticed that I was missing one of the idle pickup tubes. I have searched for hours and cannot find a place to get new ones. Does anyone know where I can find one or is off to the junk yard?

Is there an ID tag on your carb? That's an item that has dozens of different part numbers, depending on what the ID number is.
Realistically, the junkyard is going to be your best bet, unless you know someone who happpens to have one laying around.
