Edelbrock Manual Choke

I have an Edelbrock 600 with a manual choke. Has anybody ran the choke cable and want to brag about how they ran it? Anybody know about how long of a cable I need? or a better place to run it. I don't want to cut a hole in the dash of anything. I would like to make it hidden as possible.

Easier conversion than running a cable, and a wire is easier to hide

To convert, i'd have to buy an electric choke and wire it up. Manual choke is also better on gas....if you know how to use it

How do you figure its' better on gas? Once the engine is warm , the choke it basically useless

It's better on gas if you start driving before the car is warm, you can open the choke all the way up while the electric choke would stay partially closed until it was warm

Adjust the electric choke properly and it's not an issue.
