Choke conversion
« on: February 10, 2019, 05:59:50 AM »
Cliff...while searching EBay, I notice the early 70s Oldsmobile qjets have the hot air choke attachment, will this swap on my early 70s divorced type(Buickcaddychevy)collection??  I see there are easy conversions to convert the hot air to electric...Thx, Mike

Those convert easily to electric choke.

This is our e-choke kit, comes with a USA made electric choke designed for the Q-jet so it clocks with the terminal down, so no air cleaner base interference.

Also has the connector for the wiring harness.....Cliff

That's not a bolt on conversion.  The main body will need to be drilled for the choke pull-off bracket.  There is not "boss" for the holes so it doesn't sit flat against the main casting.  I've seen a few done in that fashion but not overly fond of that conversion.......Cliff
