[spanners]

how doe,s the electric choke work on a ,holley, carb ?
are they better converted to manual choke,?

i,m hatchin, a plan

I converted mine to manual. Most others I've seen have been converted too. The choke cable's made of rigid copper. I used a standard universal cable on mine cos it needed a few bends in it, but now I need to fit a return spring as the choke doesn't shut off properly when I push the knob in on the dashboard.

Mine's a 390 cfm Holley. I think Kapri's got a 700 in his Plymouth.

You sure it's not a 12r-10658b which seems to be a 650

Choke works by electricity and bimetallic strip, current passed through cause spring to contract and open flaps. As such it's not engine temperature dependent and people find it is on when they don't need it. I've used auto  Holleys for years and simply turn on the ignition a couple of minutes before I'm ready to go  they are adjustable to minimise /maximise the time they are on.
