I just bought an 87 cheverlot silverado shortwide bed . I guess at one time it had a throttle body in it but now it has a 350 with a carburator on it . But the electric choke is not hooked up . I need help trying to figure out how to hook it up .
Hey man...that's pretty easy. Just run a wire from the post marked - to a good ground, like the alternater bracket or the like. Run a key on power wire to the + post on the choke pot. Just find a fuse in the panel that is hot only with the key on and use a fuse tap (they sell them at NAPA) for a blade style fuse to hook up the wire. After that, all you have to do is adjust the choke. Hope this helps.
I'm still having trouble with what you are saying . I guess I don't understand . I read on here something about hooking up the electric choke to the hot wire on the alt. Would you know anything about that. Thanks
i don't know what Bross is talkin about the negative (-) you don't need that. the carb is already grounded. just run 1 wire from a keyed power source to the choke. yes you can hook it off the alternator if the alternator wire is a keyed source. but it's better to run a wire from the fuse panel.
slow window I have an 87 shortwide bed recently bought. It as power windows, the driver side goes up fairly quick , but the problem is the passenger window , it goes up slooooow , what do you think the problem is . Thanks
As "Heavy86Chevy" has said for the carb choke. Two thing come to mind lube the trackes clean the contacts to the motor. Make sure the window is not ajusted to over tight if it not then the motor might be going.
