Rochester carburetor electric choke conversion kit.

Electric choke replacement for the integrated type of chokes. Integrated means the choke is attached to the side of the carburetor.

This is a way to convert your automatic choke to an electric choke. Everything you need, including instructions.

Very important you look at the rotation because there are 2 different chokes for the BC carburetor. This one generally fits the later BC and the CU1160L fits the earlier ones.

SPECS:

Looking at coil = rotates clockwise when heated (choke opens / lean)
Choke shaft = rotates counter-clockwise when heated (choke opens/lean)
Choke shaft = rotates clockwise to close (choke closes/rich)
Cap diameter = 2.25"

It is assumed that the carburetor, intake manifold and engine are original to the vehicle.

Examples of miss match:

Carburetor has been switched out.

The carburetor has been re-manufactured.

A performance intake manifold has been installed. This is OK if the manifold is a direct replacement.

Spacers have been added to the carburetor base - Divorced chokes only.

Fits:

Chevrolet 1958-61 Passenger w/6 cyl. (Except P.G.) w/Carb 7012127, 7012129

Chevrolet 1958-61 Passenger 6 cyl. w/ P.G. w/carb 7011102

Oldsmobile 1956 BC R2

OEM choke numbers: 7012067, 7012066, 7009445

Installing this electric choke from Mike's was the best thing I ever did for this truck. Works like a charm and starts like a modern vehicle. The folks at Mikes were extremely helpful and responded quickly to all my questions. I rate them A+
