LD4B installation on a 75 318

The original manifold may have had a choke timer mounted to it. It is very useful to extend the life of the choke element. It's job is to cut the power to the element after several minutes. They are usually mounted to the intake. They are nothing more than a a little relay with a heater and a bi-metal bar. Since they are mounted to the intake, they are somewhat sensitive to both ambient air temp, and engine temp.I always thought they did a great job. Jus saying.

Yup my old manifold has a single stage choke timer on it; are you suggesting I place that before the electric choke on the carb so the choke is not "hot" all the time?

How does it run? And have you asked about dual exhaust qualifying as an allowed modification according to this insurance company?
Really get a kick in the pants boost in power from a 4 bbl and dual exhaust.

I sent in photos of the car when applying for the plates with the dual exhaust so they approved it.

That is a great write up, and I have bookmarked to be able to refer to it in the future.
Have you considered a new insurance co.?

Thanks. I wish I could consider another insurance company but it's a monopoly here so I have no other choice than to go with the Government insurance company.
