Has anyone done a conversion from the electrical choke mechanism to manual?

If so, I would be interested to hear what you did.

 

I used the Dorman Cable kit... Has a Screw that replaces the oem screw at the choke plate that the cable can attach too....

 

Thanks RH!

Dorman part no please?

Pics?

 

This is the screw that replaces the OEM... I can not find the part number for the screw.. Sorry.
The number for the choke kit is Dorman 55101... But it will not came with the screw....;(

 

This is the bracket from the cable kit...
Hope this helps some....

 

Thank you kindly for your trouble with the pics Bob!! This makes a lot of sense and gives me a few ideas.

 

No problem Phil.... Wish I still had the info on the screw... I'll search to see if I can find it.... But your welcome....
Keep us posted on what you come up with...

 

Sorry to revive a nearly year old thread guys, but how did you make out with the manual conversion Phil? I need to do the same thing and wondered how it worked for you. Also a quick question for you Bob, was the screw that you used also from Dorman?

 

No.. It came in a Choke kit some years back.. And I'll be darned if i can remember what that kit was... However If you pull the screw.... Re-figure what size the treads are.... Add some nuts.... Grind them down to the bracket size... I'm sure it would work like a charm....

 

Gotcha Bob, thanks for the tip!

 

Wanting to convert my thermo quad to manual choke as well.

Pulled the screw and measured the diameter-7/64 with 40 thread per inch. Tried a different screw with the same dimensions and something is still different, screw didn't freely thread in and didn't want to force it for fear of damaging the threads. Still haven't been to able remember where the screw is from?
