Default '71 360 carb suggestions?

Hello,
I have an '83 150 Prospector that had it's 318 replaced with a 360 from a '71 Monaco sometime in the last 20 yrs (318 broke the timing chain apparently). It has a Holley 2210 (2 bbl), I got a rebuild kit and stripped it. I found the pump discharge needle missing, and the plastic disc for the bowl vent broken in two. Neither of these part come in the rebuild kit (Hygrade 929a). Other then getting a junk yard parts carb, is there anywhere I can get just these parts? If not, what other carbs would work well? It's stock, has good compression and oil pressure. It actually runs real nice when cold, but as it warms up, has a real bad stumble off idle and a rough idle. I'm planning on a 4 bbl set-up down the road, but cash dictates I work with what I've got for now. Any help/suggestions are appreciated!

if it is a h2 2210 like rock auto says should be on a 71 monico with a 360 you can buy one that is already rebuilt for $181 plush shipping. you can save 5% if you use discount code 150819869024656 . it is suppose to be good till July 21. you put the code in the box "how did you here about us?"

now in the future if you go with a 4 barrel carb you will want to try staying in the 500cfm carb area.

Thanks for the info! Buying the rebuilt carb is financially impossible right now, so I'll track down a spare from a wrecker. I'll look into the 500 cfm carbs, though I'll be completely redoing the engine then, so it may need to be bigger.

Do not under carb your motor. Stock 360 should have 600-650cfm carb on it. If you are putting a performance cam and exhaust on it then it needs a 750cfm. That is what mopar performance has even said to run on them.
A stock d350 with a 318 come from the factory with a stock 500cfm carb on them. The stock 318 police cars come from the factory with a 770cfm carb. They had a performance cam, high compression 360 heads, and good flowing exhaust on them. They were over carbed. They only needed a 650cfm carb on them but mopar did not want them to run lean if they were driven at high speeds for a long time.
It also all depends on how you drive and what all you will or want to truck to do.

Well, Walker didn't have then, and a few other promising sites came up with zero as well. One place I messages replied saying that I can use two steel ***** (like check *****) in place of the accelerator pump needle, has anyone tried that?

Ok, picked up a Thermoquad and a stock 4 bbl manifold. It seems to be in nice shape, but will get a rebuild anyways. Any suggestions on the rebuild? I've never done a TQ before. The number breaks down to a '75-'76 truck with a 440 auto CA emissions (generic), though I'm not sure what the generic is supposed to mean. Reading up on them, Dodge ran them (even the bigger 850 cfm like mine) on everything down to plain 318s, so I think it should work for me. Also, in the manifold beneath the primary side (inside) there is a plug or something sticking up abouts an inch maybe? Anyone know what it is?
Thanks!

The only thing I'd be worried about is that it's a Cali emissions carb. That means it may have some extra little ports and crap on it. If it's an issue, you can also get TQs from Summit that are rebuilt by Holley. As for the little plug in the intake, that might be something for EGR, but don't quote me on it. lol

i don't think a 75-76 big block would have had much as far as emissions go.

Looking at the vacuum diagrams for the Federal and Cali emissions 440, there is quite a bit more to the 440. lol
