manual choke install
hey guys, i picked up the manual choke kit for my holley.
does anyone have more detailed instructions or a video somewhere on the install. the ones that come with the kit are very unhelpful for a novice like myself. Lots of little parts, im also confused with the lead ball im suppose to push into one of the ports?
any help or suggestion please.

I know for sure that when I pulled the whole choke assembly off of the side of a Motorcraft 2150, that it had a vacuum leak from the carb body.

on the side of the carb there are 4 holes, 3 of which are threaded for the choke mounting, the 4th is a vacuum port for electric chokes, the lead ball sits on top of that hole and gets smashed between carb & choke plate to seal the port

i've removed the electric choke that came stock on my carb, and installing a manual choke.
cmanka68 i'll go put that ball in now, maybe some light hammer taps to get it started will help.
