1969 Thermostat Choke Question

[SgtLee511]

I dont remember taking the metal bowl out of the intake manifold on my 69 383, the bowl Im refering to is the cup the Thermostat Choke sits into, ere there cups on the 69 manifolds and is there a proper name for it, because I need one. Here is pic of thermostat

Wish I could help ya out but mine has a Holey intake on mine and a Holey carburetor all my choke needs is 12 volt to it. What about in the parts list on the site.

Mine's got an Eddy on it, but IIRC....your choke just sits in the well in the intake casting. Or you could just wire the choke open.,..mine's been like that since before I got it.

No Cup or gasket for this choke setup just hook up linkage and drop choke into well and bolt it down.

Nope Steve didn't get it and now they are on national back order Richard emailed me today and talked to AMD and they said 2nd week in August oh well

Bill I got my AMD bumpers from Jeff @ 521 Restorations.Great guy to deal with. Fastest email replay I've ever got. Had my bumpers since 2012, and they still look great, and fit perfectly.

Thanks I ordered it, I couldn't remember taking one off that manifold, it just seemed odd not to have the bowl with it. Thanks Eric

Basketcase what did you have to pay for the rear one I need one on the back of my runner, Im doing my lower quarters and my bumper is bent upward, and I don't want to do the quarters without knowing where the bumper is sitting.

 

[Basketcase]

they're listed for $360...but I got mine in 2012.
