It looks like a new one could be machined from Aluminum (6061 alloy would be good) or machinable plastic. PEEK is an expensive but easily machineable plastic that is temperature resistant to 250 C.

So my question now is: anyone know where I can get a replacement for this part? I presume it would not be included in a carb kit. And why make a part out of plastic knowing that in 40 years it will weaken and break? In order to show pictures of the broken part, I set up a Craigslist ad with the pics included. I don't expect a response from the ad, its just a way to make the pictures available. Here is the reference: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/pts/2776967833.html My spouse would like me to get rid of the truck, which we don't use anymore. Are there individuals out there that still want an old truck with such poor gas mileage, given the direction of gas prices?
