is it just a nut or something? just a threaded shaft



and here, where can i get the right linkage...im swapping it in place of my CC Q-Jet

 

That is where teh manual choke linkage goes. its just not there. thats all. also you should be able to use that linkage. any speed shop will have the linkgae adapation kit to make it work. with that holley, you can probably just keep the choke wide open, since they just dump gas in anyhow. even in teh coldest of weather it'll fire up with a pump or too. what type of cables do you need on it anyway??

 

well i'm in florida so cold weather is non-existant as far as lines go... i was thinking about putting a manual choke cable on (rich mixture + spark plugs in tailpipe = fun ) but I might just leave it off... other than that: distributor vaccuum advance can and the brakes....

Dude that must be a holley trait cause I'm in Chicago with an Edelbrock 600 with the choke dissconnected. My car starts but dies right away. Then the only way the keep it running is to keep my foot on it at 1500 for about 10 min. until it warms up the oil. then she idles on her own but really rough. I also need to get a 750 so hopefully that'll help a llittle too. But I wouldn't recommend dissconnecting the choke to anyone, it doesn't do anything but cause problems.

 

Just so you'll know, it is also missing the secondary lock-out link (on the driver's side) that keeps the secondaries from opening more than the primaries.

As far as needing a choke, the difference between 60 degrees and operating temperature should make a big difference in how the carb functions. For a daily driver, if you don't need a choke to start and run after sitting all night, your carb isn't properly tuned.

 

I didn't mean to imply that the carb will run, and operate fine, but it will fire up, and run, with the choke open in cold weather. it will stumble and run bad untill the car warms up, but it will work.

 

now I was told that I need the primary to secondary linkage... probably gonna be a special order part =\

 

In my area you can buy junk condition 600 CFM Holleys for about $25 each at flea markets, etc. Buy one of them and swipe everything you need in one shot- lots cheaper than buying all this misc. stuff from Holley at list price.

 

pick up one next time you see one let me know and ill take it off your hands
