Would a Q-Jet off of a 1974 L82 4 speed have a Pump discharge ball and discharge ball retainer? I am going by a 4MV diagram and don't seem to remember having this on mine, the rebuild kit came with a replacement pump discharge ball though and I don't really want to have to take the whole carb apart just to find out that mine doesn't have this.
Thanks again in advance.

Yes it will have the ball under the screw-in retainer, but if it isn't broke, don't fix it! You can change the ball after just taking the air horn off.

Thanks, the problem is, I have one screw left over and I believe it is the pump discharge ball retainer. But if it's just a matter of taking off the air horn, piece o cake.

The pump ball retainer screw (brass) has a threaded section at the top and a rod shaped section extending down from that. I doubt the rebuild kit contains a replacement screw because there is really nothing to go wrong with it. The kit includes a new steel pump ball because they can rust if you get water in there but rusting is unlikely unless the carb has sat idle quite a while (the pump action pushes any separated water out with the pump shot).
