What is this...
I know this is part of my carb, has something to do with the choke plate. My choke is wide open now, What I'm needing is the name for this part and if/where I can get a replacement.
BTW this is off a stock Holley carb from a '75 F250 with a 390 motor

Two more things to check. On page 4 of the manual you posted on the bottom picture the line goes to the arm on the "choke plate" is that missing on your carb and could it have been plastic?
Also, on page 5, bottom picture, there is an orange plastic looking part. Is that in place on your carb?
I don't have any Holleys on my junk and am not really familiar with them, so just guessing here.

My carb is an auto choke. I'm thinking Husker is right about the cam. I guess when I get time I'm off to salvage the part, if I can find one. If not I guess I'll invest in a new carb.

I looked at everything LMC had under carbs for your truck be didn't find anything like what you pictured.

Greg, if you were to think about rebuilding the carb, it might come brand new with a new carb kit? Just a thought.

I just happen to have a 600cfm edelbrock 4bbl if you'd want it. Electric choke worked great. Could use a good cleanin, but worked good. Not sure how far away you are, but it's kinda hard to ship carbs that have had gas in them. At least through UPS anyway. I'd let it go for $75.00
