Henry,
I converted by '76 to Su's 2 years ago. I knew that the choke usually
was placed as described by others at a blank on the upper right of the
dash, but I have fat hands and could not squeeze one to use the proper
place. I mounted a slotted L bracket on the left side of the dash
(driver's side as I have a LH model), just above
the hood handle, and mounted the choke there. You'll notice the square
metal piece at the base of the dash.
It's worked fine.
