Anyone installed a manual choke on a ThermoQuad? If so was it Straight forward? My 1974 360 seems to take a long time to warm up and always preferred a manual choke anyway. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

It depends on weather you have a "stove" type or a helical coil mounted in a bonnet on the side of the carb. Electric is pretty much the same. You will have to fab and attach an arm to the choke shaft for the cable to attach to. There are kits you can buy and modify for your particular application. If you have a heat tube coming off the manifold, this will have to be blocked off. If you have a choke pot ( opens the choke slightly via vacuum once the engine kicks over) you'll have to decide weather or not you want to keep this feature, and modify your choke arm with the same amount of linkage play as the original. All in all, it's pretty straight forward as long as you duplicate the movement of the original linkage.
