How can I get the choke rod to stay permanently attached?

[SyrenSkywolf]

The choke rod on our carb won't stay in, and there is no grooves or holes in it to hold it in place with pins or anything. Right now I have it temporarily held in by using a piece of a plastic wall anchor that was just small enough to grasp the rod and keep it in place. Any thoughts? It's a Dodge 440 in a 1978 Tioga

Go to an autoparts store and ask for a carb linkage keeper they will have several sizes so if you can take the linkage with you it will help you find the right size you could also try a carb. rebuild shop. Hope this helps
