OK 32 Ford experts, Please ID these for me. I removed them long ago,
mostly from an original B car. Number 4 on the right is marked "choke."

The two on the left are not original '32 parts. On the right, the one on top is a Model B choke cable and the one on the bottom is a Model B starter switch cable used for much of the '32 model year in conjunction with a starter-mounted switch. The late Model Bs used the foot-operated V-8 starter switch which was mounted on the steering gear box, rendering the switch activation cable obsolete.

Of course DavidG is right. The second one from the left, looks like a repro choke and fuel mixture adjusting rod from a Model A. What does the other end look like?.

Do not think that choke rod is a Model A [ 2nd left] as there is no indicator 'arm' to show settings, eg. quarter turn open for normal running, etc.
