"50 Wayfarer Carburetor throttle body

[gmcalis]

After 5 years I'm finally getting my rebuild engine installed.  The rod that the butterfly attaches to and connects to the throttle is broken off at the external attachment (see pics).

I cannot find any sort of replacement.  Nor can I find a carburetor (Stromberg BXVD-3) to replace it.  I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on any options.

You can probably drill the rod, tap it, and get the butterfly attached with a machine screw 🤔

Or, you can just buy this for $20. Is this the right type?

I would purchase the spare carb for that price and then have a machine shop pull the old brass rod and then install a new rod and then have a spare throttle body.  $20 is cheap for a carb and then youcan play with th eold carb and get some education on how it all works.

 

Just my $20 worth of input.
