    Can someone help me set up the choke cable to pull both chokes on a dual carb setup? I have Rochester B carbs. Is there linkage I can buy to set up both?

    Thanks

    You don't need it ~ only one carby needs to have the choke working as it is only used for starting , not for driving .

    Do I choke the 1st carb or the 2nd carb?

    Thanks

    Just the back one is the easiest for cable reach. Truth is that when I went to dual carbs, I have never touched the choke again but I did just hook up yhe rear one. I took the blade out of front carb to make sure it never vibrated itself closed.

    Follow Greg's advice and keep your engine sharply tuned and you'll be happy forevermore .

    What could be better than a StoveBolt with dual carbies ? .

    RE: Thanks - more pictures

    Trust me - I'm proud to own this pickup with a Stovebolt and dual carbies!

    I owe alot of this "great feeling of accomplishment" to all of you that participate in this forum. For your commitment and perseverance to stick with a stovebolt engine, when so many choose to convert to a V8. You convinced me to stay with the stovebolt that was already in my truck. Your answers to my questions and other questions in the archives helped a beginner restore a truck to it's original beauty.

    Thanks Again - Happy Trucking!

    RE: more pictures ~ WOW !

    Sonofagun ~ that's a sharp looking rig you have there .

    Being as you kept the " Cast Iron Wonder " engine it'll be different from the rest of the crowd too .

    These old trucks drive the best when left more or less stock , few hot rodders put on the same miles stockers do .

    Enjoy your truck , all you need now is a dog or SWMBO to acompany you

    Nate - Thanks for the compliment!

    SWMBO has been with me since 1969 and can't understand my fascination with these trucks, I think I would be better off with a dog!
