i have a chance to buy a rear half for the dutra setup, and it looks to have a newer style choke pocket (its missing a wall, only has 3 sides) my question is i have a 65 valiant, i how do i make a choke work with my car? do i need a different carb, or choke, will it mess with linkages or whatnot. if i must use electric choke, whats the cost, and hows the install? thanks |

You should be able to use your stock choke. |

Is you current choke the kind with the 'full pocket' that has a metal cup to plug the hole, and your spring and choke pull off fit inside the cup? If so and you use a late manifold with a Holley 1920, etc. you'll need the choke pull off for a 1973 Car, or the electric one, or convert it to manual choke. -D.Idiot |

The '65 choke won't work correctly on the open-side well. The #1231 Electric choke kit will solve the problem nicely. You can also hunt up a 1973 (only) choke thermostat, either the passenger car type with the electric heater built in (in which case you'll also need the choke thermostat modulator -- I have one, send me a PM) or the unheated truck type. Either will hook right up to the Carter carb, but neither is adjustable. You don't need to change the choke pull-off. |

Hmmm. Apparently I am unaware of why the 63 choke won't work with the open choke pocket style exhaust manifold. What is the difference that makes the 63 choke not work? |

The bolt pattern is different so it won't sit flat, and with that open sided well the '63 choke coil will heat up too slowly and cool down too fast; the choke will be on much more than it should be and you'll pour gasoline money out the tailpipe. |
