A quick attach-detach carburetor linkage (10) is provided to allow connection between an automobile throttle linkage (16) and a carburetor (14). The linkage (10) includes an elongated rod (18) with attachment assemblies (20, 22) at the forward and rearward ends thereof. The assembly (20) includes a shaft (28) having a reduced diameter extension (36) with a socket (38) formed therein, together with a throttle connector (12) including a ball screw (60) which is received within the socket (38). A tubular keeper (42) is supported on the extension (36) and has a generally U-shaped slot (46) formed therein and presenting differently sized ends (48, 50). A spring (54) engages the keeper (42). When the keeper is in its locking position, the smaller slot end (50) is disposed adjacent socket (30) and prevents separation of the ball screw (68) and socket (38).
