2100 Autolite Trouble Hot air Choke!!
Hi there people I need to find out how to install my hot air choke to my 1969 F-100 truck with a 360. There does not seem to be any stove or any location to run heater tubes. I had a manual choke before but I am trying to run this hot air choke because my other carb is really screwed. Any help would be awesome. I am not very skilled but Im trying to learn just need to be pointed in the right direct please.

You're truck should have been originally equipped with a manual choke. If you're trying to convert you'll have to get the correct right side exhaust manifold that is equipped with the internal heat stove. Just a note of warning; these exhaust manifolds have bolts that are notorious for snapping off after 50 years so your choke upgrade project could result in a major cylinder head removal project. I'd stay with the manual choke.

If you want to stay with mechanical, try one of these kits. It will grab heat from the manifold and get it to the choke without having to deal with anything. Just clamp it around the manifold and attach piping to choke housing.

I took the copper and wrapped it around 1 of the tube a few times then up to carb. I even used the white tube insulated part.
Works so far.
