Better than trying to convert it to E-choke, IMHO.....Cliff

I agree. I drove it to work today and it's working, I'm just afraid the JB Weld won't hold. I have a few more ideas if doesn't but I caked it on pretty good.

Good new again. I looked at all the factory choke assemblies we had here and every single one was welded on one end where the pin attaches so taking them apart would have ruined them or at least required significant modifications to reverse the spring and keep them together afterwards.

I didn't want to destroy any of them because they are fetching decent prices these days for really nice original units in good working order........Cliff

The choke seems to be holding pretty good, I think that problem is solved. I found a couple vacuum leaks that I fixed and it's still running a little rough. Gotta play with the air, fuel, and idle a little bit.
