460 carb ?
I would like to swap out my carb. I have a hose that comes from the intake manifold up the the choke. What is that? I know it's a dumb question, but I need help. My truck is a '69 F250 that originally came with a 390, manual choke. The engine was swapped out with a 460 (a '73 by the casting #'s) and I'm not sure if it's manual or electric choke anymore. There is a choke **** in the dash but it may be disconnected. I'm not sure, but I know it has no effect. There are no wires coming from the choke housing. The carb is a Motorcraft which means it's not as old as the engine, but I can't find a number anywhere. That's it for now. Thanks for any help.

That is for the chove stove coil for heated vacuum to run thru the choke housing to shuit off the choke after the engine heats up.
Here's a pic for your enjoyment.

Thanks Mil1ion,
That pic looks just like my set up. I bought a new Edlebrock carb that doesn't have nipples for the hoses on the choke housing. When I install it, do I cap off those nipples on the intake manifold, or should I just leave them open?
