Holley issue

There's a check ball, or needle under the shooter, and there's a check ball under the Vacuum Diaphragm cover and also in the bowl for the shooter diaphragm, but it is retained by a small flat wire (some use a red silicone rubber valve in place of it).
If you've had any of those apart, that's it.
I`ve had the acc. pump off to replace a leaking gasket with the blue upgrade gasket. Pretty sure the pump ball is crimped in and can`t fall out. Never messed with the vac. cover. Holley tech. says these are the only 2 check balls in the system. Parts list only state only 2 that I see. They note 70 and earlier used a ball under the nozzle.

That ball on the floor has been bugging me since.
Sure would be nice if someone has a modern 6140 and look if it looks the same as mine.
