1969 Chevy C10
 

So a number of years ago, probably 8 or so, my son and I bought a 69 C10 to work on. It is pretty rough but we redid the wiring with a new AAW kit, he did some work on the front end, including brakes, spindles, tie rod ends and other stuff I probably don't know about. He is now 24 and has lost interest in the truck. So, I am going to work on it as time permits and see if I can bring back to life. It has a V8, but not sure what size and an Edelbrock manifold. He attempted to put a Holly EFI on it, but could not get it to work. I am starting from scratch here and trying to set the Qjet back in it to just get it running again. My question is, it has a divorced choke setup that he took off the manifold and now I be darned if I can figure out how it goes on. Anybody have a picture of how the part that seems to bolt to the manifold? I am stumped and am trying to just get it running again with as little cash layout as needed.

Go here and download the manuals for your truck. They have answers to questions you haven't even asked yet. ;) There will be graphic pictures of everything you will need.

The service manual for 1969 Chevy C10 is not there in that thread, but 1970 is most likely close enough. I bought a used 1969 Chevy C10 service manual on eBay for quite reasonable price, and new ones are available for pretty cheap from classic truck parts online stores. It's possible the divorced choke for a Quadrajet won't go on an Edelbrock intake manifold and you might also need some sort of carburetor mount adapter. It may be a good idea to post pictures of the parts you're dealing with, people here with more knowledge than me will chime in.

The manual is for a '69 GMC, a Chevy by any other name except for having four eyes... :D

Here are the parts that attach to the intake for the divorced choke for a 1969 350:

That photo tells me exactly what I needed to know. Thank you so much.

Edit: Well, I thought it did. Seems the Edelbrock has an adaptor plate where the divorced choke hooks in. I will try and fool with it, but to be honest I was cleaning the garage and found his "stash" of stuff he was going to use for the truck and never got around to it. Included it a Edelbrock performer intake, a Edelbrock 4 barrel carb with an electric choke setup, a MSG Ignition box, and HEI distributor cap, the Holly EFI setup that he could not get to work, a Tanks Inc under bed gas tank that is setup for the EFI and all the pumps and sending units for it, and a bunch of other stuff. I might just use the Edelbrock and wire up the electric choke. Could not be that difficult. LOL.
