Thx Pete, you're exactly right. Sorry for my error. My book calls it a 
vacuum diaphragm. Your link doesn't work however, could you send it again?
Thx,
Chris

The part you're talking about is a choke pulloff, not a dashpot.

Some AFBs did use a dashpot (GMs for sure) but that component is mounted on
the throttle linkage side and it prevents the throttle linkage from slapping
completely shut upon throttle release.

NAPA may have the part you need:

Thx Dave, I just looked it up at Standard and it definately the wrong =
one. Mine has an "L" bracket that is machine stamped to the dashpot it =
self and takes 2 screws to fasten it to the carb body. This is an AFB =
Carter carb #4412S.
