Default Re: 70 LS6 L78 choke linkage rod for Holley

Thanks Rick for the pic. That's exactly what I was talking about. Eric, the flat cage as you call it will not work with the factory choke and rod setup without binding during warm-up. You can bend the flat style so it resembles the original and thus allowing the choke to operate without the rod binding up against the choke cover. Not the ideal set-up but it will work and a much better alternative to modifying the choke rod to reach the cage.

Chris;

My apologies, I wasn't clear enough when I said that you had to "jimmy the choke rod..."...what I meant to imply was that if you tweak the rod and the cage you could get them to work.

With a little patience and some trial-and-error, I'd bet you could bend up a stepped choke rod out of stainless welding rod (or something similar) that would function acceptably, even if it wasn't "factory correct."

Eric

Hey Sully, don't know if you are still looking for this choke set up but I found one that works, Sold by the Original Parts Group part # DECS40B. This is the entire set up 70 LS6 L78 choke kit....
