Thermoquad idling issues

So you have a 4972 TQ for a 71 340 manual transmission. That is worth only $500-1,000. That is what I ran on my favorite 273, it would be the last I'd ever sell. The 6139 TQ is a 1972 340 automatic transmission carb, I've run this one also on a number of small blocks, one of the best. The 6322 is a 1973 440 Automatic transmission carb rated about 850 cfm, very nice carb and sounds like untouched, the best condition. What a great bunch of choices. I run brass floats, I guess because of rebuilding Quadra-Jets. They would always soak up fuel. Never had a problem with brass floats.
After looking the number up I noticed they were a one year only carb. Looks to be in very nice condition except it’s missing the linkage connecting the secondary air door and choke. Sounds like that’s going to be hard to find.
