That rod controls the secondary air flap from opening too soon. Maybe go to your local auto repair place and see if they have any junk quadrajets laying around you can get that part off of. Not really going to damage anything, it's just a driveabillity thing.

I've got a box of quadrajet parts, if you want, I can see if I have one of those rods..

Re: this part is missing on my carb (pic)
Correct. Through that rod, the choke pull-off will prevent the secondaries from slamming open when you lose vacuum on heavy acceleration.
Find a rod and put it in, but you're not doing any damage by driving it like that.
