I think you are describing the rod that opened the choke on the old carb. It probably fine to leave it, but why not take it out? It would look cleaner, and also then you could be sure it wouldn't catch on anything and cause trouble later. As was mentioned before to another poster, you may want to install a plate over the well, at least to keep the dirt from accumulating in there.

Hi list and Elijah,

I installed teh carburator and it was a lot easier than I thought. With that electric choke I only had to pump the pedel twice and it stayed on. I usally have to do this 7 or 8 times to get her started and idling by itself. That in its self is great. I have one question where the old choke was on the manifold it had a piece that came out and conected to the old choke. It has a clip and if you push it down it springs back up. Do I need to connect this some how or can I leave it like that.

 

Thanks Luis

Louis,

There are a couple of good options for a new carburetor.  The Edelbrock 1406 will bolt right on and be as close to bulletproof as you can find.  Summit Racing has them -- http://tinyurl.com/qlmod -- as does Jeg's -- http://tinyurl.com/pyqh5.  I've ordered carbs from both companies before and both are good places to do business.

Jeg's also offers a Chrysler throttle lever adapter that makes it a snap to mate the throttle linkage up to the new carb -- http://tinyurl.com/nd33w

You'll be amazed at how much better your Imperial runs with a new carburetor.
