Can't say that I've ever seen something like that....doesn't look "factory" to me. Maybe someone else has one like it....maybe not. I doubt not having it would make any difference in how the pedal fells in use, tho.

Well I got it all back together. I ended installing the ball stud in a second hole that was already on the carb's linkage. The old flat stud was now getting hung up on the cable so got out my cut-off wheel! Using the second hole actually took up the slack from the extra inch of cable I thought I was going to have to deal with. Put a new throttle return spring on it and adjusted the cable. I now can definitely feel the secondaries kick in at mid range RPM's and the big block acts like it has a turbo!
I also ordered a new choke spring and rod. But with the carb not being the original the spring was opposite from what I needed. It pulled down when warm but I needed it to go up. I was about to order another one, but looking at it I thought "I can just bend this frame tab open and flip the spring over." A few minutes later it worked perfectly. So nice to have a good idle when starting cold!
Thanks for all the advice Joel. I'll be looking for a true 69 Quadrajet over the winter.
