is this important?

[JRDART]

ive been meaning to ask this but theres this little box on the engine..bolted to the intake that i can figure out what its for..it has two prongs, one has a wire running to the choke and the other has no wire attached at all. the only numbers on it are 6148 and other than that it says choke cont. heres a pic if that helps

 

[abodyjoe]

thats for your electric choke pull off that doesn't look to be hooked up..

 

[JRDART]

how do i connect it?

That is a electric choke heater which is meant to prevent flooding when the engine doesn't cold start easily. It gets one 12 volt wire that is hot in run like the ignition, alt field, etc.., dark blue wire.

 

[JRDART]

can anyone send me a pic of the actual setup..because it is important because my car hates cold weather.

buy a service manual for your car. it will have 99% of any info needed for the car.

 

[abodyjoe]

here will tell ya what wire to look for to power it.

 

[JRDART]

ill do that when if i get this job next week..unemployment sucks, but anyways Red is that dark blue wire on a connector running on the other side of the valve cover?..because theres a dark wire thats been cut and that may be it

 

[abodyjoe]

whatever wire it is should be energized when the car is started.

i can see what your talking about now...question is what do i need to hook it to..Sorry if Im being ignorant...Cant read music tabs..cant read manuals lol

 

[abodyjoe]

seems like a wire that is energized when the car is running.

Great Info AbodyJoe. Can I ask where you found your service manual?

Great Info AbodyJoe. Can I ask where you found your service manual?

have gathered quite a few of them over the years. yearone sells reprints of them i believe and if you look around you can buy them on CD.


you can goto this thread and download a couple of them. if they aren't for your year car download them anyway. tons of info is the same over the years. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=132309&highlight=service+manual

Look at the bottom diagram Abodyjoe posted. It's powered off the blue wire feeding the alternator field. This wire actually goes several places

It comes from the key "in run" and goes to

ignition system

regulator

idle solenoid if used

See the choke down bottom left of the diagram?

alternator field

your electric choke
