Thanks for the input. I may see if I can find the right electric choke carb. I believe if I find a good 2GC it will be plug and play except for adjustments. I do enjoy trying to figure this old truck out. I like teaching my son about how it was in the "good old days". Just not so much when it is 5 or 10 degrees. Someday I'm gonna live where It doesn't get so cold.

My truck will high idle with the choke slightly out, only takes a minute or two for it to get to the slightly out position before you can walk away. It' all in the adjustments.

Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the input.
