Carter 9625 carb

A friend of mine has a 9625 carb and it is missing the choke plate and rod it attaches to.

Does anyone have an extra or a donor carb to pull it off?

We converted his 318 to the 4 barrel the other day and it just won't start. Gas is getting in, spark is there. I can only think that it has to be choked.

Any ideas on that is welcome too.
