Electric Choke Question, 84 K/10 w/ Edelbrock Carb
I had heard on another GM car forum from someone swapping a stock Q-jet to an Edelbrock that aftermarket chokes have to be specially wired for 12v because GM electric chokes would be 11.3v. The improper voltage will make the Edelbrocks run rich. Is this true?
"You'll need to run a switched wire from the fuse block to the carb choke if its electric choke. The factory carb choke wire does not supply 12 volts (it only supplies 11.3 volts), which aftermarket chokes need. On edelbrocks, not getting 12 volts will make it run rich and the secondaries will not open properly." My truck has an Edelbrock carb on it with the electric choke but I didn't do the swap, I bought it like that. Should I stick a volt gauge on the electric choke to see what kind of power it's getting? I know I'm having a hard time passing my NJ state emissions test and I'm wondering if this is the reason why.
