Eddy 1406 elec choke operation-Not "getting it"

Thanks for asking this question. I have a similar carb (the 1400) and haven't figured out exactly how the two were linked. Despite skimming through all of the Edelbrock material (their manual is pretty thorough) I wasn't getting a good visual on how those pieces worked together. Seeing the pictures away from the car actually helps a little (I get distracted easy).
One of the problems I was having was trying to figure it out in the comfort of my heated home. Someone mentioned the choke needs to be "outside" cold for it to work. I moved my carb out to my garage and and played with the linkage in the morning. It made better sense then. I also called Edelbrock tech support for an unrelated question, and the guy totally set me straight on my application and what I need to do. 300 bucks later, I have a new dual plane intake (and more) on the way to replace the existing single plane. I can't wait to see and hear it all put together.
