I believe the lever that is hanging free in the foreground of the pic connects to the thermostatic choke coil mounted on the manifold.

Thanks
I have an edelbrock performer manifold and i believe it have the indent for that component.
I currently have headers, will that be a problem?
Also i currently have an elec choke, I assume this type (oem) is as good or not better? Thanks

The 7029202 is a 4MV carb, which means it's a divorced choke. The choke is contained in the carb, but the choke coil for actuating the choke is "divorced" from the carb and is part of the intake manifold. The correct 7029202 carb should look like this. Photo shows the choke in the wide open position:
Choke actuation linkage looks like this:
