I'm still putting around sometimes in a Hodge-podge-Dodge pick-um-up
truck.  Lots of changes. One that mandated the use of the
carter/edelbrock electric choke on a aftermarket carb.
Works just fine.
I don't think during the various ownership changes that the outside
dimensions changed any.  What Might have changed is the attachment of
the choke mechanism to the old carb linkage. That would probably be
the only point of cornfusion about using these things on a WCFB.

you Might explore this information  :-)
