Holley Choke Delay

Has anyone tried the Holley choke delay for their electric choke?

I'm wondering how you like it and if the choke cap has an effect on the rate of opening and closing once you install this. The instructions say to just leave it on the middle index mark.

I asked this same question years ago, nobody seems to have tried one. Holley chokes cool down pretty fast and reset unnecessary. Try one and give us a review

I think all it would do is delay the opening of the choke by adding resistance to ground when the engine is cold. When it's hot, it would have less resistance to ground and open at the regular rate. This would allow you to keep the choke cover set at a leaner setting I think, which may help in some cases. I'll call Holley today and ask them what's up.

Just got off the phone with Holley and they confirmed what I said above. It will only slow down the opening rate on a cold engine and, when warm, it will open at the standard rate as if a regular ground wire was installed. He said you still retain the choke cap adjustments to fine tune it.
