88 Dakota, 2.2 L, Need Holley 6520 Carb

A local mechanic (highly recommended) says I need a new or rebuilt
carb. He said that he has not had much luck rebuilding these himself,
 as only about two in ten customers were satisfied. He just doesn't
know why the rebuilds don't turn out. A large part of his business
is rebuilding carbs & engines.

He suggested that I buy a factory rebuilt carb. Guess what ? I can't
find one, except NAPA for $ 600.00. This is rediculous ! Does
anyone know where I may find a carburetor, either rebuilt or salvage ?
  Have tried all the local junkyards too, and no luck.

I want to avoid going to the local Dodge dealer if possible for a
rebuild job.

I have tried the folllowing parts houses:

Big M
Autozone
Advance Auto Part
Pep Boys
J. C. Whitney (they said they'd have to check & it might be a week
before they call back)

I am learning that parts for this vehicle are hard to find and
expensive ! I would appreciate any suggestions/information.

Thanks,

Kregg In East Tennesse
