The choke will not operate on my Holley. IIRC when I first bought this car it was working. Not now.

After many months I put it on the road.

I haven't touched the carb and the cam will not allow the choke to close. It is locked.

:shock:

Hit it with carb cleaner followed by some good penetrating oil (PB B'laster is readily available locally; Kroil is my favourite; WD-40 and Liquid Wrench are useless) and see if that doesn't free it up.

I did something like Kroil (forgot the name) nothing happened. It wiggles a little. I am off to work in a few.

My speedo doesn't work on this thing. Via Yahoomaps going to and from work yesterday a paltry 15.5 mpg. Who knows how fast I was going :lol: The East Nashville trailer trash last owner broke the speedo cable mount on the back.

Tune up is in order.

I bought a cheapy mini tach to sort of keep an eye on the speed.

Well, you know where to find me if/when you decide it's time for a brand-new carburetor! :cool:

I have a scout looking for a Super Six setup. I have a manifold just really need the kick down.

Hopefully you'll have a nice BBD left over. Or maybe one of those Strombergs.
