For Those With Manual Choke Cables

[tucsonjwt]

There are two versions of manual chokes - car and truck. The truck version is just a longer cable. I got the truck version, so it is the longer cable - not sure exactly how long but it does have some excess cable looped up behind the distributor. Longer is better in my opinion - less chance for sharp turns and kinks.

I would lay out your 6' cable under the hood and see how far you get. I like the right side of the driver because I am right handed. I set the choke fully closed every time I start the truck cold - even in the heat of summer - then immediately open it fully. I live in the desert. Sometimes, in the sub-freezing winter, I will leave the choke partially open for a few minutes. I have a big block, so it wants a rich mixture to start up.

With a 6' cable I think you can mount it on the right side and have enough length, but you might have a sharp turn into the dash area.

I have my dump conversion control by the hood release, so it is already crowded over there.
