Title: Conversion of a Q-Jet
Post by: bigvette1 on February 22, 2009, 06:19:07 AM

Can you take a normal 4MC with divorced choke and convert it to an electric choke?  What is involved.  Thanks.

The divorced choke carburetors are difficult to convert to electric choke on the carburetor.  The housing will fit, but there is no bracket or provision for the choke pull-off.   The housing must be drilled/tapped for the choke pull-off bracket, and even then it doesn not have a flat pad or boss to keep the bracket straight or in correc alignment.

We've seen a few converted, never did one here.  One would need all of the parts from an early 1970's Oldsmobile carburetor, or 73-74 Pontiac carburetor, plus the electric choke and voltage supply wire......Cliff
