General Instrument bezel (choke delete) question
My '68 (C20) came with a 396 (with gauges) and no manual choke. In the bezel, there is a "GM" plate. The (original) bezel itself has no stamping/label (ie. "choke") where the "GM" blockout plate is mounted.
All of the repro bezels I see all have the "choke" label on them. I'm thinking not, but does anyone know if one is repro'd without the "choke" label? I may restore mine either way, but just wondering. Thanks, Kevin

For the round choke deletes there is a plastic cover that hides the choke nameplate. I don't know if it would work with the square ones or not. I don't know how much of the choke nameplate shows with the square ones or if they make a bezel without the word "choke". I suppose a person could make a cover out of thin steel, plastic, or aluminum and paint it. 2nd picture is the one in my '68 CST w/327. LockDoc

I don't think you will find a repro bezel without the "choke" on it.
