Zorm Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Got a 383, looking for a 750 cfm carb, question is manual or electric choke and if electric, how did any of you connect it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Not sure if I understand your question correctly, but an electric choke is typically grounded to itself (somewhere on the carb body) and the hot lead is connected to a switched circuit. My current Holley (4150) with electric choke works fine for me, but I have had electric chokes in the past that I couldn't get to work correctly and I eventually installed a manual system.

SpeedRacer Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I would (and did) go with electric. Easy to hook up by just adding to a connection on the "+" side that is hot when the ignition is in the "on' or "run" position and most will require a ground "-" connection as well. Grounding to the carb stud or bolt will usually work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I have used electric, manual and then finally took the damn thing off. I really liked the manual because I could tweak it exactly and I knew it was actually all the way open. I was slightly concerted about cold mornings, but was very surprised how little the lack of choke effected warm up. I am in Northern California so cold mornings for me are in the mid 30's.
