beachbum Journeyman Posts: 56 From: Florida Registered: Oct 2001	posted 11-12-2001 06:21 PM Have a question about the hard line running from the exhaust manifold to the automatic choke threaded connection on my 289 2V. The manifold end broke off flush, so needless to say the connection is not complete to the choke. Could someone please enlighten me about what affect that will have on the operation of the carbuetor and the choke. Thank you IP: Logged

The repair kits are cheap and easy to install. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 M code 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 open '72 Mustang Sprint Coupe 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Lok '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip '97 Probe GTS 2.5L DOHC My Photo Page I only want two things from life: I want patience and I WANT IT NOW!!!

This allows the choke to open when the engine warms up, so with the air cleaner off and warm engine the choke should be open. If not your carb will be running rich. ------------------ 69 351W Sportsroof Deluxe IP: Logged

Very common on early models. Any Mustang supply has a new kit referrred to as a choke stove or choke tube kit. A typical price I found was 18.95 IP: Logged
