Need a carb
besides the local junkyard or buying a carb new (which i dont want to spend the money on) where can i get a motorcraft 2100 on the cheap??
i looked on ebay, cheapest was 100, but some of them dont look exactly like mine... reason i need a new carb is because i took mine off and i lost 1 piece and i dont feel like trying to repair it or find the one i lost in the grass
1973 Custom F100 302 2brl automatic 2wd longbed

I would just buy a new one and be done with it, i recently purchased one from National Carbureator for $154.75, worked fine right out of the box. You can buy directly from them or they supply rebuilt carbs to Advance and AutoZone, i am sure they supply to other parts stores, these are two i remeber.

The nice thing about rebuilt carburetors is they replace the throttle shaft bushings
Old carbs seem wear out and leak out the bushings causing rough running problems

I'd only buy a remanufactured carburetor as an absolute last resort. You have no idea what you're getting and how well the job was done.
What part did you lose? I'd rather spend some time looking through the grass than shell out $150 for something that can end up more trouble than it's worth.
