Holley Electric Choke

1986 F250 460 4brl 4spd.

I replaced my stock Motorcraft 4-brl carb with a Holley 4150. Both have an electric choke. My new carb choke wire is connected to the same original power source, but the choke opens way too soon. Any ideas as to what the issue is?

Everything else is stock except for the timing gear set and air pumps are gone.

Thanks

Well I thought so too and tried but ran out of adjustment. It makes me think maybe I need to replace the heat element in the choke body or something.

I know on some carbs have 3 rivets and you drill them out and put screws in and then turn it one way or the other to adjust how long it stays closed.

Thats all I know hope it helps
