Wow! Amazing Build! Love the color. Here’s my Duster.

BTW, here's a picture of my Dart! Although I've always had dodge trucks, this is my first muscle car era Mopar.

Great info thanks! You answered a very important question for me that I don't think I asked before. 68F is basically the cut off on when the choke should be fully closed. Perhaps the reason why I believe I'm not getting enough range out of the choke is because I'm expecting the choke to be fully...

Thanks! Best explanations I've heard on how the undermanifold portion of the choke system works. How do I test if the heat valve on the exhaust manifold is working?
