Engine stalling

Found a small plastic cap rolling around on the intake manifold. Looked like it was supposed to fit over a protrusion on the front of the carb that has a hole in it. Fit like a glove, started the car and voila, no more stalling.

Thanks to all for your help.

If that's the case, I would investigate further. If it was a backfire, you may need another power valve.

What carb?
