Adam,
I installed a manual choke on a '76B when I changed from a SZ carb
to dual SU HIF's.
I bought a stock from Moss (via British Racing Green). I'm not a stickler
for stock and my
hands were too fat to fit behind the dash, so I mounted it under a cross
beam in front of, but
not blocking the hood release (yes, American). Had to drill a small hole
through the fire wall, put a
grommet in the hole and threaded the cable through to the carbs.
It works fine. Even does what it is advertised to do to carb action.
But then, here in NJ, it is still below 40F at night (but not for
long) and the car needs it.
Regards,
Bill
