Wow. Those are different than mine. Original looked like a metal dome with a spring inside and the choke rod out the top. Conversion piece looks like an electric choke canister from a holley..

 

[ScampMike]

I got one, but i already went with electric choke conversion..

right, I thought so, but you're not in the process of doing one... and these would be for someone doing "correct" restoration work I guess. I would think these are about as close to NOS as you can get without being right there...

 

[Ddaddy]

thing is - IF they bad mouth you, anyone worth their salt will check out what the scoop is - hear-say and gossip is all that is

Yeah, but that kind of stuff is enough to keep people from even trying to find out if it's real or not...they just choose to go find a different consultant.

It's like a rumor that some one might have pissed in the coffee, 99.9% of people will just go somewhere else to get some rather than try to find out if the rumor is true or not...even if the coffee over there is nowhere near as good.

so these would be what - "next gen" Mopar update pieces?

was yours a Holley 1 bbl?

Probably 73 up... just guessing... i think thats about when Ma started using electric assist on chokes.. but don't take my word for it, i drink a lot!

 

[Ben Drinkin]

was yours a Holley 1 bbl?

Yep. 1920 i believe...

they are all 73 and up

 

[Ben Drinkin]

they are all 73 and up

And there it is! I love when a mystery gets solved.. it's almost like getting a haircut!

 

[ScampMike]

if you say so...

 

[Ddaddy]

Yeah, the electric assist is part of the early emissions stuff. The nice thing about those chokes is that you don't have to use the electric assist for them to function so they are backwards compatible to the earlier models.

 

[Ddaddy]

Yep. 1920 i believe...

They made a Holley 1 bbl back in 1920??

Who knew?

are they considered correct for their listed application?

 

[Ddaddy]

are they considered correct for their listed application?

Yes. They are OEM replacements and therefore correct in any restoration.

I was going to offer them to the crew first but except for Rani, no one is doing /6's are they?

um, yep.

 

[ScampMike]

um, yep.

[ScampMike]

I also learned that my great grand mother who just died was dropped off and abandoned during the Great Depression along the river and was later found by a local farmers wife who took her in. She was roughly 5-6 years old

I have heard that there was a lot of that happened back then - it's why it is so hard to follow blood lines past the depression

Maybe not 'need', but prob take one off your hands. Mine is new Chinese junk.
