Choke Housing

Recommended Posts

Hi Andrew, Take a look on ebay and 3721 AFB carbs from 62 thru 65 Corvettes. You can use the choke housing from one of these. You will have to fill about a 3/32 hole on the rear with epoxy and the brass tubes over the choke are slightly longer. You can shorten the tubes with a Dremel tool if you like but I think it will work fine as is. Other than that they look and function the same.

                                              Good luck with it,

Hi all.

My choke housing has issues where the vacuum line attaches and can't get a good seal.  AFB - 3726s.  Does anyone know if there is an easy replacement part out there somewhere. 

That is not a vacuum line.

The line provides warm air to the choke from the exhaust cross-over passage in the intake manifold.

So...I have since discovered that the choke housing is shared with ford.  From a 1958 Ford.

Called a thermostatic control.  Part numberB8A-9850-B.  Found one on e-bay for about $60.00US. 

Unlike old mate who is selling one that is match to a HEMI for some $450.00.
