Let's start by telling us what choke style do you have.

Is it a round choke housing?

Does it have a metal coil covered by sheet metal bolted to the intake manifold?

Does it have electrical wires going to it?

Does it have a rubber hose on the housing going to a metal tube in the intake manifold?

Mine has the coil mounted to the intake, no wires, has a vacuum diaphragm mounted to it. I've looked up other quadrajets and mine doesn't have the same shaped cam that I've seen on others, more like levers and linkage, I'll take a pic in a bit.
