Default Accelerator Rod Bushing

Can anyone post a photo of the accelerator rod connection to the carb on a '66 L79? I'm thinking there should be an accelerator rod bushing - and I don't have one at the carb. Should there be one there? Thanks!

Happy Memorial Day everyone!!!

Tom

The black rubber bushing goes in the large hole in the carb lever, and the white nylon sleeve goes inside it (with the flange facing inboard, toward the carburetor, not facing outboard); photo below.
