ok guys now on to my carb problem. i have gone to a electric choke. it is a edelbrock. where and how do i hook up the electric choke. tech told me to hook it up to my windshield motor but i do not know where and he is not posting here anymore. any ideas? thanks.

any thing that is controled by ignition sw. wiper mtr. is a good one you can run a seperate feed from fuse box so long as it is only on with the ignition

you may have a factory wire you can hunt down .. would`nt your car have come with an electric choke originally ?

do not know hoss when i got it it had a manual choke. i have a yellow wire and a pink wire coming out of the firewall. is one of these the original electric choke?

charlie i am a little timid about messing with the fuse box. do not know if everything was wired right when i got it.

now i have found a green wire out of the firewall that is going to nothing.

Hook up a test light to it with the key off and see if it lights up.
If not, try it with the key on. If it works only with the key on, you're good to go.
If its hot key on you would maybe want to use an in line fuse as you wouldn't know where the power source is coming from.

get the exhaust done. yesterday i found out that i have a leak in the tranny front seal. so it is back to the shop where they welded it in for me for them to change the seal. then to another shop for the exhaust work then hopefully it is done.

They welded in the seal??????

Man ---I've been reading for two hours waiting and hoping the burn out would be long and smoky. This thread reads like a novel. I'm hoping all the bugs you get with a swap are little ones.
I put a 350 in a 1948 International and been chaseing bugs for two weeks, so hang in there it will all come together in thr end.
