GM choke delete emblem - what's the difference with these?
I have two GM choke delete emblems, the left one came from my 68 and the right one from a board member... My 68 one has rounded edges and the other doesn't. Same part number on the back...
Anyone know the history with these? I know that mine was a divorced choke so it had this on the upper right hole. New bezels have "choke" on them though so I have to figure out how to cover that up...

Re: GM choke delete emblem - what's the difference with these?
Hmmmmm.. good question.. I have two, both out of 68 1/2 tons.. both have the "squared" edges.. I have never seen a rounded version..
I have had one that was plastic with a metal black wrinkled finish center screw on piece.. the plastic part looked like a blank "throttle" or "Choke" bezel.. |

Re: GM choke delete emblem - what's the difference with these?
Other than the corners they are identical front and back...
I wish the left one didn't have pits since it's my original one... I'll show the other issue with the new bezels next week when I get home...

Re: GM choke delete emblem - what's the difference with these?
I recall another thread awhile back on this and it seems there were 3 different versions of that. I'll see if I can find it.

Do you think one might be factory installed delete button compared to a dealer installed button?

Re: GM choke delete emblem - what's the difference with these?
I have the left one for sale for $55, It had to be factory since the intake had a divorced choke...
Just search for my threads, i'll send the link later if I have time...

I think a decent modelbrush and some flat black paint would work. The original black has a "squirly" kind of design in it that can't be redone... You could probably put some drops of paint in it and roll it around to cover the corners, then wipe off the chrome if it got messy...
