Re: '71 air cleaner & manifold help

Most people change carbs and they pedal trick no longer works cus most people trash can the Rodchestor carbs.Some times it dose not work like a fine wine.The Manuel Choke put you in control of warming up your truck.I've gotten in my 1972 a few times on a cold day.I do the same thing But i pull out my choke and i set it and forget it.

When i worked for this trust company and i hauled trusses for houses I drove a 1966 3 ton bobtail with a 283 4 speed with a spliter in it.I go and check all the fluids and i stop on the pedal 1-2 times while Depressing the gas pedal i pull the choke.Now that that time this truck had a 2 BB carb from Rod Chester.

But it worked flawless I could let it sit in the yard for 15 mins and it warm that truck right up
