Installing a Rochester quad on the 305, tomorrow I'll try to wire up the electric choke, tnight I'm looking for How to do it,
Do you have any suggested????????

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Ground (-) to any good ground (-); and hot (+) to the wiper (always hot when the key's on) circuit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Thanks: Just a question; (+) needs a fuse between the choke and wiper.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Forgot to say is Rochester choke and only has (+) connector.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Right.

Listen to Nate. He's the real deal.

I, personally, like the wiper circuit because I wired it for an electric washer...I know the load, and I know where the fuse is.
Also, it fits with my placement (hiding) of the wiring and the exit point to the choke.

Listen to Nate, though. A separate circuit is always the best answer.

Re: Electrical Accessories
 

Really , you should runa new wire from the unused accessory fuse in the fusebox to the choke heater ~ then use the lowest rated fuse you can that won't blow ~ probably a 10 A. one .

Every vehicle always has built in extra un used fuses for radios and other add ons , be smart and use them , do not overload the original wiring .

To properly set the choke , go out to the rig _early_ in the morning when it's cool out and the engine is stone cold , loosen the screws holding the choke element just until you can turn it by hand , open the throttle with one hand and whilst it's open , slowly turn the choke element until the choke butterfly *just* closes , DO NOT load it ! .

Now , snug up the choke screws and release the throttle & you're all done ! .

To cold start it , depress the throttle to the floor ONCE , release then crank it ~ never touch the throttle when operating the starter on a cold engine .

Where did you get that bracket that holds the two hoses together at the bottom of your picture? I'm trying to find something like that for my heater hoses coming out of the heater core

That's just a clamp. I don't remember where they came from...but it was off of E-Slay, for sure.

Here are some cool ones I just found on a "Google Search":

Installing temperature gauge, I just want to make sure the engine is not overheating, I couldn't install it on the head because I don't have a 13/16 tool, I can't believe it.

Pulled the wounded 350/350 and am towing it to the carwash to clean it up in preparation for putting the Cad 500 and turbo 400 in it. More power is on the way.

I also ran to the wrecking yard and picked up a pair of the right brackets off a square body to mount the 500 per what others have done.

Now I need to dig in the sheds and find the 425 pan and pickup tube I saved when my wife blew up the 425 I had put in my 82 Deville. She just called my buddy to come get here and tow her home when she did that one.
