Yes and no. Most yards down here will not let you pilfer around. So that means trying to find one that will and then trying to find TBI stuff that actually might be useable.....and not crushed. And about the money and time thing..........LMAO. I simply have always been good at building and tuning carburetors and carbureted fuel systems, so that's never been an issue for me. Remember too, that where I live (central Georgia) is not the coldest of climates and we general don't have to have immediate cold weather driveability. ;)
