I found a way to go around the Heat tube and that Flapper in the air cleaner.Most guys Don't run the Stock carb.They run a holly or a Eldalbrock Carb.I know they stop using the Manuel Choke.But on the Dash behind the cluster the Hole for the choke cable is still there they never took it out.On my 1972 3/4 ton I drilled the3 hole for the choke and put it throw the Dash Basel and put the Chrome screw on peace on the cable it looks factory.

That will help with your cold starts in any part of the country.Manuel chokes always work
