Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I replaced the vent window handle, replaced the brake pedal pad & spent way too long trying to hook up my divorced choke; first the square tab did not fit down into the pilot hole in the manifold - I had to file the re-pop piece and hone out the hole a bit in the manifold. Then I notice after I got it installed, hooked up & the engine heated up, the "loop" at the end of the bi-metal spring moves down towards the intake manifold, backwards to how my carb choke is actually set up and closes the choke flap & kills the motor & the choke linkage rod is too short. The PO replaced the original Q-jet with one from a Pontiac. Just another great day working under the hood!
