Don't have any advice on the buying end, but we used to get frustrated seeing all the good car parts at the yards that we weren't allowed to buy.
Carbs, wheels, complete 50's and 60's engines., some NOS factory parts...just scrapped. Finally a friend of mine got an "in" with somebody and they let him buy a few pieces at scrap value.
After scoring a few $20 and $40 carbs, someone gave him a funny looking manifold with 3 carbs on it...67 Vette tripower intake, complete. $1500 on ebay!
I guess the moral is keep trying???
