The cable is new and the choke works fine. Less manual. You know how you have to stay with the truck and make adjustments as it warms. If a properly set up electric will allow my son to spend that 10 minutes getting ready to leave, he would like it. He is 18 and he's been driving the truck since Sept. 2013.

Thanks for the input. I have a 1973 2GV core that a friend gave me a few days ago. After some research, I don't think it will bolt direct to the manifold. The 2G and 2GC have the 1 1/4" bore. The 2GV has the 1 1/5" bore. I think the base is bigger. It is supposed to get above freezing today so maybe I can look at the truck.

I think the carb in the photo is direct bolt on?
