Default 32 truck dash

I located the correct cable for the 4 cylinder carburater and was starting to install it where the wrong one came out, which was on the right side of the instrument cluster, but I now notice there is a hole dead center at the bottom of the cluster that has a partial flat spot in it like the mounting of the cable housing, does the choke go center or on the right in the trucks, the right side is just a hole but it doesn't have the flat spot in it.


Thanks

Only the very earliest of '32 instrument panel faces did not a flat side to the top of the three holes. Your right side hole was likely enlarged when the replacement (wrong) choke cable was installed in the past. The choke cable belongs in the right side hole.


The center (bottom) hole was filled with a plug button on all but late production fours when the dash light switch was released for use in four-cylinder vehicles at the same time as the foot-operated V8 starter switch was adopted in concert with the revised starter motor.

Thank you, the incorrect choke cable was smaller that the orginal so a washer was used to keep it from falling thru the hole, so it is the right size for the correct cable.
I can put this together and see how it runs.



Thank you
