Re: qudrajet help

that is a solenoid that makes the truck idle faster when the AC is turned on.

As for the choke, it should go on the passenger side of the carb. the earlier chokes relied on heat from the intake manifold to open the choke as the engine warmed up.

What type of intake do you have? I do not see any provisions for a thermal choke on your intake. you can add one to the side of your carb, but that depends on the age of your carb.

You may have to run a cable into the cab for a manual choke.

The carb I purchased is/was told is the correct carb for a 72' 402. I assumed the intake on the truck was the correct 72' 402 intake. Do I have a miss match of parts? Does anyone have a pic of a 72' 402 carb and intake?

I have a complete carb from a 71 350 - don't think it's much different. If you think it will help I'll post a picture. It looks like what you have - even the solenoid.

It might help. I need to verify I'm not missing anything on the choke side. Does anyone know if a 72' should have the hot air style choke?

Added a pic of the intake. There are no provisions for a hot air choke. Should there be?
