Could someone tell me the difference in a manual or electric choke. Obviously the electric has something to do with 12 volts but I'm just not quite sure how. I am putting it on a 350 so any tips would be greatly appreciated

I have an Edelbrock 1406 4bbl carb with an electric choke on my 350.

There's a wire that goes to the choke ... comes from any key-on power source.

The difference:

Manual choke must be operated by hand; a cable runs from the choke to your dash and you pull on the cable to add more choke; push it in when you don't need choke.

Electric choke operates automatically; no need to deal with it yourself.

TO ADJUST AN ELECTRIC CHOKE (Edelbrock):

1 - Warm up your engine to operating temp and remove the air cleaner so you can see the choke flap.

2 - Loosen the screws on the plastic choke cover and turn the cover clockwise (right) until the choke flap just BEGINS to close.

3 - Turn the choke cover COUNTER-clockwise (left) ONE notch and tighten the screws down.
