Carb help
That's the throttle lever!
Throttle cable should be attached to it.
A spring assists in assuring it closes.
After start up, the choke position lis linked to the fast idle cam.,
It should be adjusted to run at 1600 rpm at fast idle (see the shop manual)
When the choke is open, kick the throttle and the fast idle cam will rotate to let the throttle rest on the idle adjustment screw.
Adjust that for 650 or 700 rpm, whatever the shop manual says.
Check timing, readjust fast idle and timing as needed to get into spec. Then trim fuel (turn the mix screw in until rpm drops, then turn it back out). Your '71 was originally spec'd to run leaner idle (14.2:1) to reduce CO and HC but without a CO tester, just get it to run nice.
When you go to set the timing, make sure the hose to the vacuum advance is plugged. When you go to set idle speed and mixture, so whatever the hood sticker or shop manual says. But in all cases, the ports on the carb must not be open to atmosphere.
