When in  idle position, the actuating 
lever containing the idler screw comes into  contact with a small rubber 
tipped spring arm which when contacted opens  and allows air to enter the 
base of the carb. What is its purpose? 
It's a vapor vent to release fuel vapor pressures caused by a hot idle and  
fuel percolation. the vapor vent was added to all 1964 and later primary  carbs.
 
 

On one  of the carbs the extension 
arm is missing so there is no contact made  during idling. Is this type 
setup normal?
NO. it apparently was messed with by a PO
 
PS, you might be interested in buying my comprehensive Corvair Rochester  
carb book. If so, please email me directly.
