Electic Choke?
Hey guys with my previous thread basically helping me figure out that my choke is dead. What are the benefits of switching to an electric choke? What have you found to be problems when installing them? are they a pain in the rear-end? and what is the best one for the best price? ughm thats all I can thinkg of right now about the chokes any help you can give is amazing

i've got a 79 f100 302 2bbl c6 setup... mine has the stupid electric choke assist thing going on and has been broken for a few years now. got a new one put on and the dumb thing still doesn't run right after getting everything adjusted and bla bla ... *shrug* I know that's no help but in case someone else does have some help, now there's two of us listening

I think they all come from the same pot.

You can use one off any Car as well.
Just check for if it's working or not with a power supply.

Note:
The little arm in the choke housing is supposed to slide into the end part of the choke spring.
Then the black choke housing has to be indexed to the proper notch.
The choke linkage/fast idle linkage to the carb has to be properly adjusted for the choke system to work properly.
That's why I linked the autozone page.
