OK,my Holley carb manual choke is broke (no rhyme intended),and i am
thinking of upgrading to an electric choke instead of replacing it with a
manual one.
Its only 3 bolts to undo to replace the unit and i think a bit of adjustment
to make sure the flap sits in the right position over the front 2 barrels.
My question is,now that i am forced to make a replacement,should I upgrade
to the electric choke,or should i replace it with another manual one? I'm
not worried about it being stock,so if it is worth upgrading,then i would go
for it. An electric one would mean i dont have to pull that stupid knob out
each time and i can get rid of the choke cable,but are there any drawbacks
with the electric option?
The carb is not original to this engine (351W with an H,so originally 2 bbl)
On the front side of the carb is imprinted LIST 1850-3 .The guy at Checker
worked out from that number that i need a Holley part number 45223 to
replace it.
It's less than $50 for the part,so what do you think guys ? Have any of you
done this upgrade.
BTW,the rest of the car is coming along nicely,slow but sure,i'll get there
eventually !
