You can see the end in the second photo here between the intake and exhaust manifolds: https://flic.kr/p/vX93ujhttps://flic.kr/p/tidBVSAlso, the dial was turned quite a ways over towards "rich". ( Looks like about 60-70°) I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it should only be moved about 3 notches in either direction when adjusting. Is that true, or is this much of an adjustment pretty normal? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Did 1949 Canadian Chevrolet trucks come with an automatic choke? 1949 Chevrolet trucks did not have an automatic choke as standard or as an option. Here is a "universal" choke stove assembly. | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 20 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2015 Posts: 20 | No, I should have mentioned that the engine is a 59-62 261 out of a Pontiac car. The carb is a Rochester BC off of an unknown 235.
Have to remember to add that every time I post something...

What is the fiberglass rope/wrap for?
Anyone have pictures of the Chevy version on their stovebolt? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 20 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2015 Posts: 20 | Awesome, thanks TC. One more thing on my "make something up" list to get this engine running!  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 914 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 914 | No, I should have mentioned that the engine is a 59-62 261 out of a Pontiac car.

Sorry! <-- I'm Canadian. At least you have the steering wheel where it belongs and you drive on the CORRECT side of the road. | | |
