Re: New addition just arrived.
I was completely ignorant of that, thank you guys!
I thought that in 1971, Chevy went to an automatic choke and that's why the manual choke disappeared.
I've gone back and forth with my dash plans. I really want a temperature gauge but I'm unsure where to put it. I keep thinking the best place is part of the 7 gauge factor cluster.
I want to keep my manual choke but dad used the cigarette lighter delete for that. It's a little bit of a reach for me to get to it and I'd like to have a lighter where it was supposed to go. I don't smoke but I'd like to have a place to charge my phone on a long drive.
If I could find an original, 7 gauge cluster, with manual choke or a throttle knob I could use as a manual choke (if that possible, I'm still new at this), I'd go with that. I know the '67 to '68 dash cluster had a manual choke knob.
Thanks again for the pics and information. If anyone has a decent (no cracks) 7 gauge cluster with a manual choke slot, drop me a line. (I'll pay extra for the 6 cylinder tachometer).
