Sounds like the kick down linkage is missing. Try your local recycler. Most dodge 225's have similiar carbs.You may find what you need there.

It could be many things so start with the easiest /cheaper first.Check your plugs , they will tell allot...white= too lean .black and/or wet =too rich .. clean and gap If your coil is old and not sparking hot enough it will sputter and stall . If your ground to the ignition is loose or corroded , same result. If the motor has noit been run for a long time ; replace spoark plug wires , coil , pioints, rotor , cap ( just replace the distributor with electronic etc.) . Put in fresh fuel (gas goes bad) and filter.You might run some carb cleaner or rebuild the carb , your start /idle jets might be plugged.Check all vacume conections , cracked or loose hose equals too lean to run when cold. If all else fails loosen the distributor and swivel small increments back and forth until it lights. Oh yeah , if your alternator is not putting out the motor will kinda start then die beause the battery cannot keep up.
Good luck

If it is a 4 barrel you need to run a higher octane than a 2 barrel. You need to check your timing and readjust your mixture and air flow.
