Chevy 250 Carb, wire questions
Greetings friends it's been a long time. I need some help on a couple of trucks I bought from my State Auction. One is a low mile 70 C10 with a long step bed and a 250 six engine. The carb is the MV, meaning for automatic choke. I had the carb rebuilt by a local builder that's real well known. Now, when I bought the truck the carb was connected to a funky manual choke set up from a parts store. So, I decided to get the missing auto choke spring, and cover so I could get rid of the junk manual choke set up. Well, nothing doing. Every single truck with a six at local wrecking yards are missing the carbs and intakes. Some, have low mile rebuilt engines, but carbs, chokes, and oh yeah the are filter base and pans are also missing. I have tried parts stores that can order parts, local yards, friends, and nothing I do can find me the auto choke set up for my 250. So, does anyone have an idea where I might find one? eBay has nothing for over three months, and none of the vendors of used parts are a help. Now, I would live with a manual choke, but trying to use the MV means useing a generic parts store system that requires drilling out things on the carb, and then the tiny wire holder that attaches to the carb although it works also wobbles around until the cheap tin bracket breaks.
I also have a couple of questions about hose routeing as well as a couple of wires but I will post those at a latter time. And yes, I have both the printed service manual, the older shop manual, as well as other books but they don't show much or say much about chokes, hoses or wires. It was nice to com here again and I'll fill you up on my 67 Project as well at a later time. First thing I need is to get the 70 runing and sold. A real low mile 63K owned by Oregon and serviced through the state motorpool. They had no luck with an auto choke either, so installed the manual junk. Good day friends. My best to you, and yours.
