My 66 was also using a lot of gas. Pulled the carb off and rebuilt it, noticed
that the float setting was incorrect and set too high. Put a high rise
manifold and the choke (stovepipe) does not work and had to put a manual choke
on. This is very easy to do only had to drill one hole in the carb and two
under the dash had the whole thing done in 15 min. I also bought 5 gal
container of 118 gas and add about a pint to every other tank of gas (92) and
I'm getting better gas mileage now and the car starts right up on the cold
mornings.

Subject: IML: Choke pull off for 66
I took my 66 to my mechanic because carbs are not in my book of knowledge.
He said the choke pull off is misssing. Is this the correct part name that
I need to be asking for and where would I find one?
