Carburetor Problem

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

The air cleaner hold down rod is 1/4-20 thread - you can  buy "all thread"
rod at the hardware store and cut it to length.   Its diameter is 1/4 inch.

The choke hookup for the Holley may be different for that of the AVS or
AFB - but if you buy the new carburetor, it will come with electric choke
assist, which is better than the original, and very easy to connect - it
simply goes to the "I" terminal of the ignition switch.
