I did not know if I should jump on a similar thread or start a new one so her it is; 1978 F350 460 motorcraft 4350 (stock?) bought this a couple of week ago and think I found the no choke problem;



'A' is a press fit metal tube running to a rubber hose and then what looks like the hot air connection at the choke spring housing.

'B' is a soldered or maybe jeld weld glob probably covering something I need

'C' is a hole in air horn which had a broken nipple in it.

From the posts I have seen looks like the nipple at air horn should have gone to the plugged hole in manifiold? or tube connected to spring housing should go to air horn and hot air tube is missing?

bit off more than I can chew.....again.... any help is much appreciated.

 

Ask FTE member Mikeo0o0o0 to scan and post the following from the 1973/79 truck parts catalog:

Illustration Section 95, Page 7 / Ford (Motorcraft) 4V Carburetor / 1975/78 460

All the carb related parts are shown in an exploded view.

 

Well hot air choke works like a champ! Picked up a choke tube kit and a new thermostatic choke housing and getting hot and opening as it should!

Thanks everyone, now on to the next challenge
