Help with Carb removal

I got mostly everything disconnected for my first carb rebuild. However there is one part I do not know how to go about taking off. I'll post some pictures and circle the area, I believe it is the accelerator and Chilton manual is of absolutely no help. All it says is go ahead and disconnect it, Well I just go ahead and do that Chilton thank you very little. Anyways any help would be apreciated.

And if you want to really know what your doing, buy this book.

This is the guy who designed that carb for GM.

Doug Roe's Book is good, but getting dated... Cliff Ruggles book is the newest one on the subject.. and his kits are the best on the market...

I have both books, still, with 10% alcohol in today's fuels and climbing to 15% by 2015.... I feel it's best to stay current, anyways, I just posted the link for the folks whom may be interested in all available info on the subject.. and a source for very good quality qjet rebuild kits... Have a good day m8...

To the OP. Post your progress and let me know if you run into any roadblocks or need any pieces/parts that aren't in the rebuild kit.
