Default Re: I’m getting close to trying to start my 1956 bird after a lonnnnng ordeall

As I said in my previous post, there is no hot exhaust air going to the choke as the outlet tube normally going from the intake to the nipple on the bottom of the choke housing is not installed.



I guess to be more accurate, I plan to use an aftermarket electric thermostat (cap with spring) with the existing choke housing and levers. The supplier (Mike's Carburetors) suggested plugging the threaded nipple on the choke housing. I guess I will do my normal process of trying it both ways and see how it runs. I could also use a rubber cap used for plugging vacuum lines and poke a small hole in it. Would that allow enough vacuum draw?
