The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - PROJECT: How would a Chevrolet dealer build a shop truck in the early 1970s?

Today I made good progress on the reinstalling and connecting the electric choke.

First pic is the five pounds of junk wiring that I trimmed out a couple of weeks ago.

Next is showing the where the choke wire feeds through the firewall.

Third is the fuse box showing right where I connected the choke wire (with inline fuse). It's on the lower "IGN. UNFUSED" spade lug connector, right below the same thing for the HEI.

The forth is just a side shot of the truck, because Scott asked what it looked like.

BTW, the choke now works GREAT! It starts, idles, and drives nicely -- without any frantic pumping of the gas pedal to work the accelerator pump.
