That is an important piece for good operation of the carb. If set up properly, that piece prevents the secondaries from opening if the choke is not fully released (cold engine); and it allows the secondaries to open if the engine is warm (choke is fully OFF). Without that piece installed, the secondaries will open at any time.
Is my vette stock?? HAHA

If you look just past our finger at the axle for the secondaries in the upper left hand part of your pic, it has that thin post that runs through it that is flattened on the end. THen look at the last pic posted above and you can see your piece contacting that post
You need the choke parts and housing to hold it on
You should look at buying a quadrajet rebuild book like the one that Cliff Ruggles put out.

Thank you all!
the responses and time to response are amazing… as always on this forum,
with the pictures and comments I was able to get that piece back on my carb,
thanks again…
Now…
what I’ve done…
I sold my C3, got 8,000 (non original Chevy 350)
and
bought a 77 trans am… 6,300$
(all original 400, black / red)
wish me luck!

Maybe the image of a young Sally Fields next to him caused this catastrophe.....
Looks like that T/A needs some TLC. Enjoy the trip to get it the way you want it.
Hey, how would that T/A look with a mid-60's tri-power under the hood?
