"Then the cab can sit down and it'll look like some progress has been made." And, progress is good!

Looks very good!

The included instruction sheet, copyrighted 1980, states that it is for 1980-1983???

It is like Christmas, again and again, and Vernon is Santa Claus.

JMUBullnose, welcome! You might want to start a separate thread detailing the items you want to repair and members will try to assist.

Possibly sounds like carburetor icing. What is curious is that this usually happens at a little higher temperatures since their is less moisture at lower temperatures [-1F]. Do you have heat going to the air cleaner snorkel?

Very impressive work!

Sold for $7100.

You are making it happen and ought to be proud of your accomplishments!

The one I am using is a Dorman [or equivalent]. It is as you describe in that the throw is very short. I pull it out no more than 1/4 of the way. The cable was routed through the rubber plug which originally was used for the computer wires as they passed through the firewall. The choke cable runs parallel to the throttle cable and is secured to the throttle cable using small plastic wire ties. It works satisfactorily and does not interfere with the stock air cleaner. By the way, in warm to hot weather, absolutely no choke is needed to start.

On the RockAuto web site, if you use the search feature and type in what you are looking for, several catagories [is that what you call them?] change [go to bold] and you can look in each until you find the part. The site kind of guides you to where the information is.

But, he [Vernon] can live vicariously through you and Big Blue!
