| Post subject: | Choke puloff question |
This is how the choke was set-up when I bought the truck  After removing the pull-off I see this  Unless I am mistaken this is the late exhaust manifold ( truck is a 73 with engine of un-known year ) Carb is a 1920, what do I need to find to get all of this working again? Truck is fairly easy to start but I know it would be easier if this were set-up as it should be. Would one of my choke pull-offs from my 1945 set-ups work. Havent even compared the difference in linkage yet. |

I got this today  off a mid sixties Dodge. I dont know if it will work for my 1920 Carb but I do not see why not. The carb on the car looked very much like the one on my truck. I do not know up until when they used the 1920 carbs on slants so I am just feeling around for one and bringing home what I think might work. What do you guys think, surprisingly this one is in very good shape underneath where the spring ect is. Just needs a good blasting on the outside. |

The early choke (even if the one you found were in good shape, which it isn't) won't work well with the late exhaust manifold. Either get the correct original-type choke for the exhaust manifold and carburetor you're using (in your case, you'd need a relatively scarce 1973-only item, either the truck type without heater or the car type with heater plus the associated choke control module) or save yourself a bunch of fiddling around and nonworking, and get a #1231 Electric choke kit instead. |

Ill assume it wont work well cause the late exhaust manifold has the open side. Thanks, makes sense
