TQ question

The choke can be a challenge to get working since it uses a choke welled bi-metallic spring with the rod going upward from the intake manifold to the carb. A manual choke cable can be adapted. It is a pain to do but with some thinking and creative work, it's a go.

(There is a small primary electric choke version out there. It may not be a MoPar throttle arm though. The TQ was also sold as a aftermarket/replacement carb. Ford used a TQ for 1 year only FWIW.)

You could do what I did and build a bracket to mount the aftermarket TQ choke setup if you don't have the choke well in your manifold.





Anyone know where to find a new choke cover though? Apparently they are made of unobtainium.

Something else to be aware of though is the transfer wells in the bottom of the fuel bowl. They can leak and cause problems. Rusty, do you have a way of repairing them?
