choke?

Stupid question ...To turn the choke on, is it pulled or pushed in on a 1960 f100?

1. You don’t need a choke in California! Pump the poop out of it.

2. Pull out, but it’s not a (electrical) off and on thing, it’s a variable mechanical thing (holding the accelerator / gas petal down a little releases some of the resistance) that might take just a part application and some adjustment as the engine warms up.

3. In some of the towns around here most things work backwards so this might not apply in all locations.

Just pull it out a bit. The farther you pull it out the more it will choke the engine.

I don't have a breather on my carb, so I pump the pedal to get the choke all the way out, then start feathering it in after it has cranked. Out is start on a '60.
