One other thing I did on holley carbs was remove the little black button that pops in the hole on the choke cam. You'll see it when you put the new parts on. That way my choke moved freely from open to closed. I always had the habit of checking my choke was pushed in so never had a problem with the choke closing on me with the button removed.
That's a good idea I'll have to do that. All I have to replace is the pivot arm that connects to the cable, the stud snapped, but I'll have to look for that button tomorrow, why do you remove it?
