mine doesn't have any of the stuff on the front of yours- no choke pull-off and no choke thermostat or rod. but I have a brand new choke cable if I can figure out how to mount it and make it operate. thanks for the pic! I'm open to either way, I just want it to work!

aaahhhh they are over rated! hahahahhaah I still have to stay with mine for about 2 minutes before I can leave it to settle out on it's own. I recently rebuilt the carb but can't find the pics. If I do, I'll add some more pics.

found it:

Re: 250 6 cyl. monojet choke setup- can somebody show me some pics?

There were several different choke configurations used through the early years of these carbs. Most of them didn't work right from day one. Often the carb or manifold has been changed & do not match. Often parts are missing off the carb. The best one to use is the electric choke model from the early 80's. It is self contained. Or a manual choke model is good. It is hard to convert to a cable control.

I have several pics and can get you some more (weather allowing) but I need to know what you need.

When you say you have a "manual choke and don't have the linkage to the carb" do you need to know how the choke cable attaches to the carb or the throttle linkage to the carb?

Okay, I read this post. Not all vehicles had pull offs. Back in those days you had to learn how work it manually. Basically you had to be one with your truck.

Here's some pics of mine:

Well, I thought I was going to be able to send pics, but it's not letting me upload them. I'll try to figure out what's wrong and post pics later.

Re: 250 6 cyl. monojet choke setup- can somebody show me some pics?

ok, sorry to make this thread so long... I'm sure this is really simple to lots of you, but this is my first chevy- up til I started building this 68, it was 20 straight years of VWs for me

Here's some pics, not the best, but pics nonetheless:
