Choke Connection to Quadrajet
I've got a 283 with a 4MV quadrajet and thermostat divorced choke. The original carb had a choke cable attached and I still have the choke cable. Can you get a bracket to attach it properly to the choke so I don't have to use the divorced air choke?
Any pics would be great too. It starts great in the cold but is harder to start when slightly warmed up (like a quick trip to the store). Thanks

Re: Choke Connection to Quadrajet
It is hard to hook a manual choke to a Q-jet. It would be best to go back to original if you can find the pieces.

Re: Choke Connection to Quadrajet
Do you mean back to a 2-barrel carb?

Re: Choke Connection to Quadrajet
Wrenchbender is correct. It's not easy to do. It's better to go electric, find a carb with manual choke or revert to divorced choke. Years ago I tried to change my old 69 with a divorced choke to a manual choke and it didn't work out too well. Ended up wiring the choke open since I didn't need it that much here in Texas.
forgot to add: It did work for a while but it was a "rig" and didn't look too professional. Last edited by 68gmsee; 03-20-2011 at 11:38 AM. |

Re: Choke Connection to Quadrajet
Thanks for the replies. The divorced choke is working ok-just wanted to use that choke knob I guess! Hate useless things left installed.
Oh well.
