electric choke & gas gauge?
does anybody know how hard it is to convert a eletric choke to manual choke is there a kit? have not had very good luck with my eletric choke on my demon any help in the right direction would be great thanks a bunch in advance. also i did a blazer tank install on my truck a while back and i drove around for about a month without putting any gas in the tank [was still running off tank in cab untill i ran new fuel line] is it possible that my float on my sending unit got stuck in the empty position with all the bouncing around with no gas in it because the gauge is stuck on 1/8 of a tank and im pretty sure the gauge is working because when i disconnect the wire the gauge moves help im tired of keeping track of milage to know how much gas i have thanks again for any help john

There is something to do with ohms and your sending unit matching your gauge and everything. Hope I didn't confuse you more. I know someone else on here can tell more about it.

Someone had posted in the Engine drivetrain forum on info relating to automatic vs maual chokes. I did a little write up on how to setup an auto choke.

Re: electric choke & gas gauge?
Are you sure you have the right sendin unit in the blazer tank? There are two that I know of 30 ohm for 63-66 and thee 90 ohm 67-72 . If you have the right sending unit, then your resistor on the back of the fuel gauge is probably worn out.

Re: electric choke & gas gauge?
There is no reason you could not get the choke to work. It's just time setting it one click at a time. Call Bary Grant and tell them what your problems are with the choke they have a great tec line.
