Shop with confidence. A properly operating electric choke will definitely make your Most new cars are fitted with an automatic choke rather than a manual one. Electric choke conversion kits are fast and easy to install. We cover Manual Choke— choke is operated by a cable, which is pulled from inside the cockpit. Remove the Carburetor from the vehicle.

Mikes Carburetor 1, views. It was not created for use on the AFB but parts from the kit make the conversion possible. The pivot shaft and linkage from the AFB above are used instead of the ones below supplied in the Edelbrock kit. This view of the back side of the new Edelbrock choke housing with the old AFB pivot shaft arm and linkage installed shows that the arm points up and opens the choke butterfly as it swings to the rear.

O-ring arrow fits in the recess in the choke housing and seals the vacuum supply passage on the carburetor base. This view of the back side of the new Edelbrock choke housing with the linkage supplied in the kit installed shows that the arm points down and opens the choke butterfly as it swings to the front.

This is the way that the choke linkage travels in Edelbrock Performer carburetors. Vacuum is supplied to the piston in the choke housing through this passage arrow that is plugged with a lead seal on carburetors without a choke like these AFB carburetors originally intended for racing.

However, instead of using heat from the exhaust manifold or intake, the electric choke uncoils the spring via an electric heating element in the cover.

I'm in the middle of an electric choke conversion on a When assembled as it's in the pictures the fast idle adjustment screw doesn't touch the fast idle cam even when the screw is down all the way. My question is, what did I screw up? I can't figure it out. The pictures give a look of the setup before the choke is installed and after with the cam.

Any help is appreciated. I'm pulling my hair out! The cam weight end should be above the choke rod, you have it below the rod.
