Hi Fred:

=20

I did remove the heater box to make the job replacing the choke cable =
easier last year.  However, I did not replace the heater box because I =
have no need for it in South Florida.  Although I remember taking it out =
30 years ago and did get it back in after a time when I lived in Chicago =
by standing on my head.=20

Listers,

=20

Temps are the upper 60's today so I went to the garage to take the BJ8 =
out for a run.  I pulled the choke knob and the entire choke assembly =
came out of the dash.  I do mean the entire assembly, the knob as well =
as the cable sheath came out of the dash.  The sheath disconnected from =
the choke bracket on the fire wall.  So here I am, a beautiful day and =
no choke to start the car with!  I've never had this happen before.

=20

This situation is not one of the items on my to-do-list!  I don't need =
more stuff to do.  I tried looking under the dash to see the hole =
through the firewall but it appears that the hole is above and or behind =
the back of the heater.  I cannot see daylight through the firewall =
hole.  Does anyone have ideas or suggestions on how to put the choke =
assembly back through the dash and fire wall without removing the entire =
dash?  Do I have to actually remove the heater box to put the choke back =
in the car?

=20

Help!
