Thanks Tom. Mine is sort of a C shape and the fast idle
screw rests against it when it is engaged. I don’t see anything with a hole in
it. What I would really like is a way to convert this carb to a thermostatic
coil type setup. Does anybody know if that can be done with an Edelbrock carb? John Nasta -----Original

Nasta - Did you ever fix your manual choke? I
looked at my Edelbrock Performer carb today. The choke cam on my carb is long,
thin, and u shaped at the end where the hole is. It has no corners, so it
doesn't sound like the same design as yours. I'll
try a diagram below.

[Chevelle-list] manual choke (Edelbrock carb) Unfortunately
the car is 30 miles away right now, so I don't know. I may go up to it tonight
and if so, I'll let you know, and maybe take a picture. I'm
also in the process of upgrading my distributor with an electronic module, and
repositioning it. The previous owner had installed the distributor wrong, and
the vacuum advance can is actually over a runner in the manifold (but just
clears). A stock installation would have the can between the manifold and the
valve cover on the passenger side. As long as the relative position of the
rotor and cap don't change, I think you can put the vacuum advance can any
where you want, limited by the teeth in the gear. There are 12 teeth in the
distrubutor gear, so you could move your distributor in increments of 30
degrees to give you more clearance and adjustment for timing. Tom -----

Tom. Is the hole at the bottom front corner? That's where it seems like it
should be. I guess I'm going to have to drill my own. Seems odd that a manual
choke carb did not come with a hole to hook a choke cable to. John Nasta -----Original Message----- My Edelbrock performer carb with manual choke came with a hole in
the choke cam. All I did was hook up the existing manual cable to it and adjust
the throw. Tom
