I put on an aluminum intake and need to convert to an electric choke. Can anybody tell me what to use?

Thanks

Bob,
Several options..

the more expensive opens the choke and keeps it open using a sensor mounted to the engine..

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=6781&cat=3598

this is from Arch's album. I bought one of these from NAPA, but since some members have have trouble finding them, others located them at CarQuest (if I remember)

The heat sensor

Some discussion

http://gmc.mybirdfeeder.net/GMCforum/index.php?t=msg&goto=67624&rid=904&srch=electric+choke+part+number#msg_67624

next option is an electric choke from later model -- new or from men's mall. More simple install -- but does not have the engine tmep sensor so some experience the choke closing when stopped but before the engine cools.

another option is to install a lenght of copper tubing and coil it around the header or exhaust manifold to supply the hot air.

When you order it from his site, there's a check box for an additional pigtail lead to hook it up easier.

the choke has a very wierd slip on connector. You'll see why I am
mentioning that you need it.
