Re: Help switching from 2BB to Quadrajet??

kick down depends on what trans?

throttle cable depends on the intake and carb and bracket, year models are different?
youll probly need to mod the bracket,, move it forward or get one for a qjet.
some aftermarkets are really adjustable,
but the thin ones tend to bend if you have a stiff spring?
I have not tried this one.. it also depends on the trans/cable..

some people do run the choke power from the fuse box, lots of ways to do it..
electric choke would need a 12v, key on, fused circuit, I think the choke is a about 20a fuse.
it would be good to use a separate circuit, and a relay,
depending on other loads, older cars are kinda limited on how much stuff you can add..
I would not run the extra power thru the ignition switch/fuse box,
but triggering a relay with it is ok, takes very little power..

the later models run the choke thru the oil pressure switch too,
so the choke heater wont come on till the engine is running..
