    Well found some time at work today to finally get the choke cable on and installed a factory antenna. The aftermarket one was junk. Kept coming lose. My neighbors will appreciate the choke working so I dont have to take 5 minutes to warm it up in the morning.
    Next on the list is get the old Pioneer super tuner am fm cassette deck and speakers installed. The deck cleaned up really nice and suits the age of the car. Move the tach. Move the gauges. Then install the ebrake handle. Kind of have to do it all at once cause the tach is in the way of the radio install and the gauges are in the way of the ebrake. I'll post pics when I get everything moved around.

    Pioneer Supertuner ... I think I have only said those words a couple of times in 30 years. We used to sell them at a Musicland record store I worked at when I was 18.

    Nice addition to a Mav, or any car with an under-mount radio for that matter. (y)

    I second that folks will want to see pics.

    Nope, manual choke Holley. Pretty common on Holleys.

    Today was the first day with the choke and it runs great. Took me a second or two to get used to the feel of a manual choke again but it works great. Just had to turn the fast idle down a touch.:clap:
