Carter YF help needed. I think I'm missing something.

I'm rebuilding a Carter YF carb. It's a 3211S. Inside the choke housing is a bar the comes up and is connected to the throttle body via a rod. Well, when it comes into the choke housing it doesn't connect to anything. It makes no sense. I''m pretty sure it is supposed to be coneected dome how. Here's a couple of pics. Let me know what you think. If I'm missing a part I hope I can find it.
Thanks,

Is that cam shape wheel supost to pick it up for fast idle?

 

Choke trip lever, mounts in the shiny hole on the right and is moved by that "hook"
That arm sticking out at ya goes through a slot in the sheet metal baffle and picks up the end of the bi-metal spring coil.

 

I had two of those on a dual intake many years ago.
The auto-choke was not a really useful feature.

I had the original Carter heat-stove that mounts to the exhaust manifold, but I had to keep fine-tuning the auto choke setting with different ambient temps and eventually just got the universal manual choke conversion kit from Napa, which worked a lot better, as I could control the amount of choke on the dash, if needed.

It's a good single carb for the 235, which is basically the same as 2100s/manual choke.
Just make sure you don't let E-10 ethanol gas run dry inside the bowl from parking too long in the summer.
The accelerator pump diaphragm can harden and crack if it dries out.

 

Thanks for the info. I have the sheet metal baffle and the plactic cover with the heat spring. I guess I am missing the "trip lever"? I cant find a pic of the complete assembly. Can this be modified to manual choke. I've hade these heat chokes on Rochesters before and they have never worked very consistanly for me.

***UPDATE*** I braved the still shitty roads here and went to the local parts store and got a manual choke conversion kit from Dorman. I think this will be much better than the heat choke in the long run.
Thanks again for your inputs.

Best idea....
