Help!! GM/Rochester carb !! inline 6 "270"

Hi Guys. I bought the '59 a few months ago. I have been cleaning it up and trying to get road ready as it has been sitting for several years. Once I sweet talked the pack rats into moving out of it I finally got it running but it needed a carb rebuild. Long story short... I have lost/misplaced a critical part, or maybe my "safe for all metals" parts cleaner disolved it? Either way... I desperately need help replacing it.. Is it a jet? it had a "check" ball inside of it. Fortunately I took pics during the teardown so I do have some info. In the first pic the missing part is on the upper left. Pic 2 shows the rebuilt carb and the hole where missing part is supposed to be. Any info appreciated.

What is the model of the carb? If it is the same as 58 235 I have one sitting on my work bench looking for a home.

That is a Roch. model B. That part is different from the original. It might be some rebuilders version. The original had a ball with a spring behind it & a cap/plug that screws in. The ball & spring come in the kit. I cn send you the whole assembly if you want. My e-mail georgec2434@yahoo.com
