Due to unexpected circumstances, my car wound up parked in my garage for several years. Needless to say, the old gas really screwed my carb. It is a Edelbrock 1405. I have never rebuilt a carb before. I ordered the rebuild kit. I removed the carb and took it apart. I then submersed the pieces in Lacquer thinner. I then did some detailed cleaning of all of the surfaces and replaced all of the gaskets. I followed the instructions included in the rebuild kit and put it all back together again. I went to dump the Lacquer thinner and heard a small piece of metal rolling around in the container. This piece was not pictured in the exploded view diagram included in the rebuild kit and I have no idea where it came from. I have not installed the carb yet. Any ideas where this belongs?
