There should be a snap on clip on the rod coming from the bottom pivot. If you enlarge the illustration of the accelerator linkage you can barely see it.
You can probably find one from a parts car or some vendors have new for other cars although I can't say if the diameter of the rods would be the same. Another option would be to drill for a cotter key. I also vaguely remember seeing them online -- possibly at McMaster -- but don't remember the official name to do a search for them.

I believe you are talking about hairpin clips?
KPack just measure the dia with a caliper. Should be obvious which size to buy. I would get a multi pack somewhere MADE IN USA. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/clevis-clips/hairpin-clips~~/

Here is what was there originally. Unfortunately best photo I could easily get was a back side view but there are probably good front views in photos in SM or other parts books. The long part of clip snaps on the length of rod and a couple of "ears" go on either side of the linkage piece. When the short bent end is inserted in the hole and clip snapped on rod it holds the short bent end in the hole.
What I call hairpin clips which is sort of U shaped with the double ends and bulge in the middle that goes in a groove on the rod would also work but you would need to make a notch or something to hold it on. ![]()

Perfect, that's exactly what I was looking for. This place is the best.
Same linkage as the ones on the carb. Makes sense. I'll look around in my parts bin that came with the car to see if the clip is there (probably not), otherwise I'll measure the shaft and order the right one. Lots of little things like this were missing from the car when I got it. -Kevin
