All the aftermarket carbs have holes in the throttle lever for attachment of the TH350 kickdown cable. Transfer the attach lug from the Q-Jet to the new carb and re-set the cable adjustment.

Hey! I'm having the same problem right now, How in the world does that thing come off?
I'm in the process of switching from the Qjet to an Edelbrock.
