Re: choke rod length

Your choke rod might be binding I have a couple of these quadrajet with divorced choke and the top hook points to the outside of the truck. Snap ring on the outside. It gives a more straight up and down shot Here is one I put on a performer rpm with a square to spreadbore adapter and it works just like it should. I tapped a hole to bolt the coil housing down and a dimple for the nub on the bottom

Re: choke rod length

A 3 foot length of 1/8" rod is cheap and I grab 1/8 external snap rings at the hardware store I am sure I seen it here but using a side cutter or dykes you can cut the groove after you bend it by putting them tight to the bottom and with light grip and spin the rod slowly with the other hand and check with the snap ring once in awhile for a nice fit. I usually make a rough one and then a nice one before it works out
