Default Holley carb expert ,parts needed

On my 65 396 car I have the original holley carb. List #3124. On the front bowl on the top I need the little rubber vent sealer that attaches to the arm that connects to the throttle linkage. Also I need a black fast idle(choke) arm. Holley sells the arm but it is red not black and the little vent seal you have to buy a whole rebuild kit.Anyone know where I can get these parts??? thanks

You better do a little more checking. The original 396 3124A did not have the vent arm. Take a look at page 282 of Noland Adams book"The Complete Guide To Restoration Volume II". The throttle linkage and tops of the bowls are clearly visible and there is no vent arm. On page 357 is a picture of the "66 L72 which does have the vent arm. Also, pg 93 of the Fifth Edition of the NCRS '65 Technical Judging Guide makes specific reference to it not having it.
