Location: Edmonton, Alberta | Hi All: One more question for y'all.... Fury cars has quite a different choke setup than 2BBL 318 Cars. The dual quad setup had a choke in a bakelike appearing enclosure wich presumably contained a bi-metalic spring. Hot air was captured in a metal tube and was "piped" in to the choke enclosure. This is a little different from the 2bbl V8 setup on the 318 which was essentially a bi-metal spring attached to a rod, which opened the choke. So.... my question is: did any other Chrysler product in the late 50's era use this bakelite setup like the twin carbed Fury? Did any other manufacuter use this setup? I'm hoping that parts might interchange.... |

Location: Alaska | I believe some GMs used this same choke but don't remember which ones. Probably the ones that used the 4 bbl WCFB or the corvette style dual WCFB ( very rare ). |

What are you looking for?
Imperials used an integral choke as did the B block engines with 2x4s. |

Location: Edmonton, Alberta | I'm looking for the choke heater that will work for a 1957 Fury twin quad setup. I was asking about the other cars as I was visiting a scrapyard and I was looking for some alternatives.
Any idea where a person can find a choke heater that will for the Fury dual quad setup? |

If you're not concerned about originality, the electric choke cover from current carbs would probably fit your WCFB's. |

"Current carbs"? Is there such a thing these days now that every car in the world seems to have fuel injection?  |

IIRC, the piped hot air supply to the choke was used on many Chrysler made V8s through 1956. The pipe was quite prone to plugging up and that probably encouraged Chrysler to give it up and go to the intake manifold choke well style or the electrically heated variety. |

Location: Jamaica Plain, MA | I think the setup for a Edlebrock AFB would work. You'd probably want to hold them up together. The Edlebrock thing uses electricity unlike the Carter Climactic Control knob. They work the same insofar as being adjustable. And this is probably redundant, but you only need a choke for the rear carb. Running a manual one would be another idea. |
