Fix one thing...break another!
Well, I tightened my rigged up fuel line and engine responded tremendously....started to back 'er out the drive and old problem reappeared...like magic! 
I broke this tab when rebuilding the car(one of the last parts to put back on and have a finished job, of course
)
Sooooo....I used Gorilla brand epoxy glue to reattach an that obviously failed.
Anyone have a better solution/product to get this back on?

I know I would not try to fix it with an adhesive...I would get a new top plate for the QuadraJet....OR...you need to make an angle bracket.,..that is held down by the bolt right beside where this part broke off..and make it so the roll pin can go into it....OR..... contact SEM and let them see this thread so they might be able to advise if they have an epoxy that would have great strength. I know that they have awesome products due to I use them with GREAT success...but with this broken part having such a small 'footprint'. This one is questionable.

You could put a 1/2" to 5/8" long #6 machine screw and nut into the remaining boss (after you drive the roll pin out). Tighten the nut then put the arm onto the overhanging threads of the machine screw then another nut with a drop of LocTite in it. You'd have to drill the hole a little bit larger for the machine screw to go in and drill the hole in the arm the same size but it would last until the cows come home.
