Smile Re: Trying to hook up divorced choke

Ok, this is what happens when you mix and match Quadrajets and manifolds.
Some of the little bi-metal heat stove/coils mount parallel to the carbs and some of them mount perpendicular.
As well, some of the little heat stoves have their lower fastening screw hole on the left...and some on the right.
I have a similar issue on my '72 truck that I resolved. I am running the correct '72 Quadrajet, but my intake manifold is the 350/300hp of the chevy cars which has a different mounting for the little heat stove...so improvisation was req'd
After the mounting is resolved....which shouldn't be too tough, getting the little connection rod correctly set to unwind the choke will be the next hurdle.
So.....Post a pic and we can help you out and we'll go from there.
All Good
