Edelbrock carb question
I'm running an Edelbrock 1406 with an electric choke that isnt hooked up. Is it possible to hook up the choke to work manually instead of electric?

Re: Edelbrock carb question
look into the Manual set up for the 1400 ser. Ed. carbs.
probly just unbolt the electric and bolt up the manual set up The OEM choke cable is short so plan on getting a aftermarket.

Re: Edelbrock carb question
For $22, Here's a divorced (no cable) choke kit. It adapts to a Performer manifold and carb.

Re: Edelbrock carb question
Alright, here's the deal, you know how to adjust the choke, right? Loosen the three screws around that plastic housing, and turn the black case to adjust the cold position of your choke. When your truck is cold, loosen those 3 screws, and turn that housing until the spring engages to the point that the choke is ALL the way open, tighten screws. Game over, put your wire to it and give it power, and ground the other side, and it won't open any more than that, because you have it all the way open when it's cold, so it won't open when its hot. That'll save you some cash too. Justin

Re: Edelbrock carb question
Ha, oops, I guess you still want a choke,huh? Well, I guess mine won't work if you want an actual choke, but if you live where it's warm, you don't need one anyway. Justin
