I have a 235 '55 car engine in my '53 Chevy truck. I am pretty much ready to start the engine after while. When I got the engine, it came with a Rochester carb that has built-in auto choke, now the q

That fitting connects to the tube on the exhaust manifold. It doesn't really connect to the exhaust gas, it passes straight through the manifold and as the engine warms up it heats the air inside the

Thanks for the information, it does make sense, however I think since I don't have a way to connect that to the exhaust manifold since I installed headers in the engine, do you think the best thing

Take a small piece of metal and bend it to follow the curve of the header pipe. Drill a hole in the metal to hold the metal pipe that will go from the carburetor choke to the metal plate. Clamp the m

I can't speak to this specific carb, but that sounds pretty standard for Rochesters. If so, it is to run a tube through the manifold somewhere. Air is drawn through this and as the engine warms up, t

There are electric replacements (try JC Whitney) for the exhaust heat driven choke coils. I have an electric choke on the Edelbrock 4 barrel on my 57 GMC. Only requirement is 12 volts when the key is
