Hi guys,
I have a '55 Thunderbird with a 292. It's got a later ECZ-9425-B intake with the Holley 4160 style carb on it. The hot air auto choke is toast. Broken things and the choke stays shut unless I wire it open. I'm open to any fix at all, including a new carb. I looked for a new hot air choke kit, but all I find are electric choke upgrades. That won't work for me, as the car is 6v. Anybody have any ideas on how I can get this back up and running?
Thanks,
MarkMark. You don’t mention where you are located. I notice that the Holley 1848-1 carburetor with the hot air choke is no longer available from Holley so spare parts such as the choke assembly may or may not be available. That particular carb was the original replacement carb for the ’57 Thunderbirds. I have a healthy stack of those older 4150/4160 Holley carbs that I use for cores and spare parts and likely have the choke housing you need. What is the list number on the carburetor you have?
