Oh sh*t, thats a lot of money for a rebuild.
If you have the skill to remove the carb, you can rebuild it.
They are not particularly complicated to rebuild, especially if you understand how they work.
Besides some of the 'professionally' rebuilt carbs I have bought had been monumentally screwed up due to basic assembly errors.
As mentioned above, consider getting a rebuild kit, with a new float and pull-off, as mentioned above. Also, often, an older Chiltons manual may include a Rochester rebuild guide. The rebuild kit will have instructions, too. Some instructions may be more comprehensive than others.
You do not need to use a dip tank to clean the carb. About 3 cans of spray carb cleaner, a tooth brush and (if possible) some compressed air will work fine.
