1963 Cutlass 4GC carb part

I have a "throttle retarder" on my '63 cutlass 4GC carb that I would like to replace.
I can't find ANYTHING on this part. Is it called something else? Thanks.

Throttle retarder for 4GC

The car is in the shop- about 2 hours from here. The part looks a lot like a 1980's choke pull off. Here's the link to that picture:

Although the mounting bracket is somewhat different.

If you are talking about the dashpot that goes in front of the throttle arm, NOS versions show up on ebay regularly. No one makes new ones.

The '63 Cutlass with the 4GC has a dashpot AND a throttle retarder.
