find another shop, or find someone with the knowledge and bring him with you. does that dyno shop have a air fuel meter that you can shove up your tailpipe (hehehehe)

 

Oh good grief. Just hook up your friggin carb electric choke to either the fuse box or the ignition. What's so hard about that?

 

You will definitely want to look at your secondary springs. Being a carb newbie I found out the hard way my secondaries were not opening. Ended out getting deposits insecondary bowl fromgas evaporating and carb started flooding.

 

Why does everybody do things the hard way? - Never mind, it's ignorance, fear and superstition. Go back and read some of the other posts on electric chokes and carburetors instead of proving you are a -- never mind, I've made my point.

Hey, the kid's asking a question. If you dont want to answer it, then don't. It will stop you proving YOU are......
Would you rather this was just an archive of old posts? Pretty boring place to be.

 

Just hook it up. You'll need to run a wire from the choke connection into the car, up under the dash and pick up a switched power lead. Simplest is to look for your Accessory fuse and find the wire coming off that. It should lead to a place you can plug/splice in a wire.

 

You got Glen saying 'poke around for switched 12V in the engine compartment' and you, JamesW, punching holes in the firewall and Mickey Mousing a wire into the fuse block. Get your acts together.

Then make a suggestion to help the kid rather than criticize those that are trying to help. I didn't say 'punch a hole' in the firewall. If you know of a convenient switched full 12 source in the engine bay, let's hear it.

 

JamesW, I did - and I referenced the post where I suggested it. The simple solution is to use the 12V, fused, switched source available on all 64 to 68 Mustangs with a heater fan, the brown fanpower lead (not the yellow one - it goes to the fan switch thru the resistor) in the engine compartment. You can make a two inch long 'jumper' using 18awg wire with a 0.187male bullet connector at one end and a 0.187 female bullet at the other, to go inline with the bullet connectors on that brown wire. At that jumper's assembly, stick another 18awg wire long enough to reach the electric choke, it's probablely a spade push on terminal, and attach. Jumper assembly is on a bench, installation is done by leaning over the right hand fender. With parts in hand, ten minutes? No cutting of existing wires, easy removal, no splices.

I stand corrected. I did not read the post you referenced.

I'd forgotten about the Fan lead.... Good choice.
