68 rochester 2brl choke question

[soba_03]

Ok i bought a rochester 2GV to replace the 2G on my truck. This one has the vacuum choke pulloff. I'm trying to install the choke spring (lives in the little recess in the intake to the left of the carb) But from what I can see I can't in any way see how this is going to operate the choke correctly. It seems that when it''s hot it going to want to push the choke plate clsoed and vice versa.

There is no way to install the spring wrong, it's got and index pin and a screw to attach it ot the manifold. So it's right.

I know that someone has done this. My truck was a manual choke and I've bought the same carb rebuild from Delco except this one has a vacuum pulloff.

If i'm thinking right, when it's hot the coil(choke spring) should expand and pull the choke opened. When cold it should force the choke plate closed. From what I can see it looks like the choke spring is mounted backwards in the mounting bracked. I purchased this spring brand new and it's got me confused.

Pictures would help me tremendously.

Please help, it's getting cold and "she's a cold blooded thing"
