Another choke thread
Working on a 1977 F-100, 302/auto, non electric assist choke system. Does anyone here have a part # for a FULL ELECTRIC choke thermostat that will fit, and function in my factory Autolite 2150 carb choke housing?
I know how the hot air choke works, so I don't need a lesson on hooking that up, I just want to convert to full electric choke. The owner of this truck isn't too worried about having all the original heat tubes in place, he just wants the choke to work right, when it needs to. Thanks doe any part #s that will convert this carb to full electric choke.

What I want is a choke heater that works solely on 12v, with no heated air required. There has to be one that will slide right in this carb. I hope.

I don't have a number but I can tell you the full electric choke off my old 83 ranger's 2.0 one barrel fit right on my 78 f150s 351m two barrel. I hooked it to the stator wire on the alternator and everything. The ranger was full electric it had no coolant or hot air tubes going to it at all.

Just a little relevant info:
If you end up with a Ford choke, then you want it powered from the Stator terminal on the alternator, which provides AC or alternated current.
Most other brands of choke heaters require 12V+ DC or direct current.

What I ended up using
This is what I ended up with to put on my 2150. Got it from Mountain Man Fuel Systems. Check out all his carb parts on ebay. I haven't gotten around to getting back on it yet. Will let you know how it works out. Thanks for looking.

So far this kit has been the ticket. Works flawlessly. Although I haven't had any sub freezing weather here yet.

How long does it take to go from fully closed to fully open upon starting? I was sick of the electric assist and switched to fully manual; my heat tubes were all shot so the choke would never fully open. Never really considered going to full electric...
