Hi all,
You are all great resources! I got my exhaust pipes remade locally. Sounds great now.

Next problem: Manual choke linkage to the carb.

The carburetor has a vertical up/down motion for the manual choke but the cable comes out in a horizontal manner. Sigh.
I THINK the previous owner swapped out the ?original Quadrajet? for the Holley 4bbl that's on there now but there's no way to know when it was done.
She's a real cold starter ;-) for sure.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how/what to hook this cable up CORRECTLY so the manual choke works?
Thanks In Advance,
Chris

PS - Pics to come. I'm busy raiding the local salvage yard for interior parts which my wife keeps asking me 'What's that for? Aren't you going to sell it next year?'

;-)

PPS - It's a 366ci in a 1971 C60 Short Dump and I still have to get a radiator overflow tank from somewhere and the 4 inch diameter breather hose for the air cleaner AND somehow the odometer cable (PITA because of the 2 speed rearend) AND the temp sender. Hey - at least the oil pressure, vacuum, and gas gauges work !

The 60 series didn't come with a Q-jet. It most likely came with the Holley thats on there but possiply with a large Roch. 2 barrel. If the holley is a manual choke it should have bracket & swivel for the cable. Put a photo in & one of us can probably recognize it.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Chris;

This how a manual choke is set up on a Holley 4BBL.

You can buy manual choke "conversion" kits for the Holley that includes all the parts necessary. Check out Jegs, Summit, ebay or your local FLAPS. Good Luck

Here's a link to a pic of the side of the carb.

Different model than yours, SimS.
(I know - the auto choke is still connected but it really is not working.)

Looked up your suggested part and YES! the linkage parts are in the kit!
Thanks Sims!

That diaphragm that is vertical is for the secondaries on the carb. The diaphragm in the front is the vacuum pull off for the choke.
