    What’s the best way to fix this?

    So was cleaning up my fuse panel and two things went wrong. Look at this pic and tell me what you guys think. I pulled out the flasher for the hazards and lost one pin completely the other is sticking out. Also one side of one of the fuse holders broke off.

    Got it running

    Guys got it running but the carb is still doing runaway acceleration. I hate this q jet. It’s a divorce choke style and the lower part that attaches to the block is gone. Can I just remove all the choke stuff as I really don’t need one
