Coming from a guy who used to TRY to install them professionally.....don't convert. As mentioned, you won't find a good spot to mount the bracket, the universal kits are made too weak, etc. If you're not careful, you'll bend some of the linkage on the choke when trying to set it.

What's the prob with the divorced choke? You're better off in the long run to repair it, unless you like to constantly be jacking with the conversion.

Many guys say they had trucks with factory manual chokes that work great. They do. The carbs are different and the brackets don't bend.

HTH
