Hi Guys.
I'm looking for some help with my carb on my 1974 Challenger.
I rebuilt the carb (the original carb) and installed it back on the intake manifold.
All was well, except for a weeping problem on the rear of the carb. I was told the float level (I set to 1" as per '73 FSM) was to high and to reset them to 29/32" which I did. That problem seems to be solved. Somewere along the line, the two levers and the spring on the choke side came off, and unfortuneately, I hadn't taken any photos of them.
Now, I'm trying to get them back right and am having a terrible time.
I've looked at a '71 and a '76 carb, but they're different in that area.
My question to all you carb experts out there is.. How in the hell do they go back on? If anyone can supply me with a detailed diagram and or detailed photos how this goes back together it would be greatly appreciated. I think that this setup is specific to the #6453S carb. It's probably super simple, but I can't find the solution.

Many thanks.

They should all go on the same way from 71-74. However I may be wrong. So heres a bump for somebody who may know

The photo isn't exactly the same as mine, but it was a great help.
I've got it back together now and will put it on the car today.
Many thanks

Nicely restored carb by the way. Wish mine looked like it.
