Dorman 55101 Choke Conversion Kit Universal Fit

Old school choke system. Works great once you’ve got everything adjusted properly. Just be patient.

Holley electric choke is possibly the worst thing to happen to carburetors. It’s either you g to open to early or too late there is no in between. After 20Years of trying to get it to work right I threw in the towel. There are a few options here. A $50 manual choke setup from holley, a $50 temperature controlled switch to delay the opening of the clutch or a $10 manual conversion kit. I chose the cheaper for my quick fuel brawler. Installation was straight forward using the supplied cap.Running and mounting the cable is the universal part. Every car is different and every setup is different. You may need to buy different bolts or a different bracket but with some thought and patience it will work. Just try to keep the bends in the cable as wide as possible. If you’ve kinked the cable, you are absolutely doing it wrong.Once you get the length you want, just pull back the cable (you can technically pull the cable out of the protector completely if you run it right). Cut the outside sheath reinstall the cable. You could even grease it while it’s out. Do all of this and in 10 minutes you’ll have a cheap and affective answer to holley’s terrible electric choke.

This basic kit has been offered by some company or another for at 40 years that I know of. It's functional, but I had a couple of issues with it. The bracket that bolts to the top of the engine has always been flimsy, and in this case I was lucky, the carburetor (Holley) I attached it to, had a clamp for a manual cable that worked perfectly. The other issue I had was with the threaded brass piece that's meant to mount the cable to the arm wasn't threaded properly, and I ended up breaking it because the screw wouldn't tighten. Instead I improvised and used a small bolt in place of it, and wrapped the cable around it like a spring. The only other caution I would add, is that the cable doesn't like any kind of sharp bends at all. I moved it around several times before I found a position where it doesn't bind, but I finally found it. Needless to say, run the cable as straight as possible.Otherwise, it does work, but I wouldn't say it was for the novice installer.

Used for my manual heater valve on Hot Rod.

Cloudn’t use. Return spring stong to use

It works but not well

While this is primarily to most a choke cable, I got it to use as a fuel shut off for a diesel who's original electrical cutoff has long since gave up the ghost, all the parts are there, shipping was on the ball, works just as you want it to. Decent build quality, it's universal so fitting it is up to the user, and the price was right considering th it xtras beyond just the cable itself.

This can be modified to be internal to accommodate the air cleaner, in this case, to a ‘77 F150 with a 300 c.i. (4.9L) motor. The multiple holes in the photo were from failed attempts. The final modification works perfectly.
